I love the idea of this. But things are moving too fast and $20 / month to have a frontier model is something a $3000 non upgradeable black box running an open source model can't compete with.
this is true, but the average consumer is not as concerned about the difference between frontier and where open models are today. We believe that as things move forward open source models are going to become a lot more efficient. The panda is also not limited to one person, a whole household can use panda
consumers buy brands (at least in america) and this is the real moat of Anthropic, OpenAi, Google, and Meta
