AI API Costs will keep rising, implementing Frontier Small Language Models into workflows will be a massive way to reduce AI costs.

AI Consultants are going to have a hayday helping SMBs & Enterprise corps optimize their use of AI tools.

Have you experimented with SML's?

@markproduct Revenue

[Victor Alonso @Spac3man6]

@Adidotdev At least 3.

[Victor Alonso @Spac3man6]

@TTrimoreau Few grand maybe

[Victor Alonso @Spac3man6]

" AI First " "Agentic " If a company has recently changed their branding to include this, assume they are now.

[Victor Alonso @Spac3man6]

@TheFriendlyScav @mipiacce @Iwendtster Something like that, his music def makes you want to open a beer up.

They are blind AI regurgitators.

[Floro S. @sflorimm]

nobody talks about AI hallucinating anymore.

why?

[Victor Alonso @Spac3man6]

@mipiacce @TheFriendlyScav @Iwendtster Valentin died a similar death though.

[Victor Alonso @Spac3man6]

@TheFriendlyScav @Iwendtster Yes indeed.

We've kept hearing how GLM-5.2 beats Opus 4.8, and are skeptical of benchmarks - so we tested them on a real bug from the Cline repo. While both models fixed the issue, GLM was the winner in terms of cost and code quality:

- GLM used twice as many tokens (GLM 1.1m vs Opus 660K) but cost half as much (GLM $0.41 vs Opus $0.81)

- Opus finished quicker - 1.6 min and 12 tool calls vs GLM 4.7 min and 28 tool calls

- GLM cleaned up dead code and verified the build compiled before completing. Opus didn't - it left type errors that passed tests but broke the production build.

Both runs used the same Cline harness prompting and tools, so it seems GLM is RL trained to spend more tokens verifying its work before completing. Impressive work by the @Zai_org team!

A trillion tokens isn't cool. You know what's cool?

[Victor Alonso @Spac3man6]

Dont stop.

[Victor Alonso @Spac3man6]

@droidbuilds None because token costs will be so expensive that we will go back to the stone age.

[Victor Alonso @Spac3man6]

@Aditya_181105 Both.

@pegobry_en People may not talk about but it still exists.

[Victor Alonso @Spac3man6]

@antibearthesis Reminds me of Tesla some years ago.

Distribution is hard. Be cool. Chat with everyone.
