Frontier open-source model for knowledge work said to be 60x cheaper
A user claims a frontier open-source model for knowledge work is 60x cheaper, which could significantly change the cost structure of AI knowledge-work tools, though the specific model is unclear.
A sarcastic post argues that for eight years of $200 Claude subscriptions, teams could be forced onto poor quantized DeepSeek v4 Flash running at 30 tokens per second.
The poster says on-demand GPUs are scarce, so teams sign long offtakes; competitive rates require 3+ year commitments, while shorter terms raise hourly prices.
