In Europe, most companies and Gov are pushing for either mistral or os models.
Most dev, which, if I understand it correctly, are pretty much the only customers willing to pay +100$ a month, will change in a matter of minutes if a better model kicks in.
And they loose money on pretty much all usage.
To me a company like Antropics which mostly focus on a target audience + does research on bias, equity and such (very leading research but still) has a much better moat.
Does it really happen to really have to pay such a bill? Do you need to tweet about it to be reimbursed?
Do you have LLMs in mind in your SEO strategy (like really long articles bragging about how good your app are in a non human readable way?
Would love to have your thoughts on that!
If you enjoy Charlie’s, you will definitely enjoy Kahneman’s Thinking Fast and Slow, especially the part about being an « expert »: a few talks in empty classrooms in a famous Uni, a radio show nobody knows and voila, you get some cred!
Or a nice biography on someone you find interesting.
It also allows me to more easily control what the llm will do and not end up reviewing and throwing 200 lines of code.
In a nextjs + vitest context, I try to really outline which tests I want and give it proper data examples so that it does not cheat around mocking fake objects.
I do not buy into the whole you’re a senior dev etc. Most people use Claude for coding so I guess it’s engrained by default.
