Have you seen Anthropic’s super bowl’s ads? 😂 They illustrate your examples. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=anthropic+super+bowl+ad

I’m waiting for the day when local models can match the enterprise ones 🤞

Ahahah indeed watched them as they imploded the blogosphere, glad you made the association because it’s exactly the future we are heading towards and one I am worried about 🙃

Re local LLMs vs cloud provided ones I am personally very bullish it’s an inevitable direction that most “normal” people would want/need. All these models are basically doing the same things the only difference is the amount of stolen data on which they train the models and a few “settings” so there is no real “IP” of a secret sauce.

It’s a bit like paying some premium for electricity when the one generated by two different companies is the exact same fungible good: in the long run this is going to be true for AI too

A big part of the ‘secret sauce’ is the system prompt, is it not? And the reinforcement training (weights? I’m not an expert here)

The thing is you need pretty advanced/expensive hardware right now to run the best models. But it looks like that’s already changing~

No conspiracy, just capitalism with better UX

Agreed, peak capitalism. If you understand the system, you can make the most out of it otherwise you'll get exploited

Just like the free peanuts that emotionally manipulated me into 4 beers.
