My entire AI stack is now Chinese 🇨🇳
87% cheaper. same revenue
swaps by task:
1. reasoning / backend brain
Opus 4.8 → Kimi K2.7
benchmark gap: ~8% · price: ~11x cheaper
2. code generation
GPT-5.5 → Qwen 3.7 Max
benchmark gap: ~18% · price: ~7x cheaper
3. agent loops + tool calling
Sonnet 4.7 → GLM 5.2
benchmark gap: ~3% · price: ~5x cheaper on input
4. cheap volume / bulk processing
GPT-5.5 mini → MiMo V2.5
benchmark gap: ~6% · price: ~12x cheaper
5. image generation
GPT-Image-2 → Wan 2.5
benchmark gap: ~5% · price: ~8x cheaper
6. video generation
Sora 2 → Kling 3.0
benchmark gap: roughly equal · price: ~6x cheaper
[ result after 30 days: ]
operating costs dropped 87%, output quality dropped 4% on average, revenue unchanged
the most important that these models will be not banned in a month and i can run them locally
nobody will steal my data and i can learn them as i need
full article drops tomorrow with:
> exact routing logic per task type
> the 2 cases where I still pay for American
> the migration playbook anyone can copy in a weekend
VERY IMPORTANT to get migrated now, while it's not too late
The first prototype of Tempron is live at https://t.co/WDKDUf8wDg
Still in very early stage, probably got my API keys floating around and shit lmfao. Will refine very soon.
@bhaveshbuildz Tempron, schedules your tasks around your sharpest hours, not just your open calendar slots. Built for consultants & founders who treat their time as scarce. https://t.co/zJp7B28xze

@OpenAI really played with this one
This is their only meaningful chance in a while to overtake @AnthropicAI in the AI race.
Sol beats Fable and Opus in every benchmark AND has more features.
Launching your most capable models while the competition's best is down? Great stuff
“So electronics are getting more expensive because AI companies are hoovering up all the RAM?”
“Yes, Dave.”
“So laptops, phones, consoles and PCs all cost more because OpenAI and friends need to feed the machine?”
“That’s right.”
“And the upside is we all get access to the amazing new models they’re building?”
“No, Dave.”
“Why not?”
“Because the US government is now controlling the rollout.”
“So we pay more for the hardware, subsidise the AI arms race, and then get told we can’t use the best stuff anyway?”
“Exactly.”
“And this is progress?”
“No, Dave. This is the future arriving as a subscription service we’re not allowed to access.”
