LLMs could be a bad blow to anonymously publishing software.
If you want to keep a project separate from your day job / real identity, you need a second subscription. $20/mo is not that big a deal, but $200 (Claude Max) sure is. If the haters are to be believed, we might see a hike in pricing as well.

@WandererUber the haters are %100 wrong on this one. deepseek/glm/kimi inference is already profitable at low prices

as they often are.

>profitable
for whom?

@WandererUber for people who have inference hardware

that's not the issue. If the model is not profitable for the lab making it, they must raise prices (and stop/delay weight releases)

@WandererUber these are all open models, anyone can run them. if a third party can run them at profit right now, they'll be able to do that in the future. glm and deepseek and kimi are worse than claude and codex, but not so much worse that people wouldn't swithc to them if claude would cost $1000 a month

@lain @WandererUber token providers are straight up printing money with margins above 10x too, can't wait for capacity to improve enough to where it's more or less 1:1 to electricity cost like bitcoin
