I think it's not wild to assume, a neatly deployed open source model can cut the cost down by a factor of 100x to 1000x as of today, compared to the cloud providers for the same tasks with much better results.
The new hardwares on Horizon. I think this market is going to explode soon.
I think we need to pay close attention to why Nvidia bought HuggingFace π€
On the surface it might look like it's a move to protect GPU dominance, but I think as the coding models are improving, so is the ease of using open source models.
@GohilHardy Yes, and it kind of matches with my experience as well. In my experience, I have found that less-reasoning models tend to perform better and write higher-quality code compared to more high-reasoning models, which is insane.
@GohilHardy This is a very interesting question. I think the models give them some idea, but models don't understand the stakes, and they cannot put their foot down, especially the coding models.
@moiiikaaa I think this is a scale problem. The whole point of vibe coding is to build something quick and go to market fast and raise capital. Building an Instagram is not going to raise capital in 2026 π
@HeyAliux I mean also there is a question of taking responsibility, problem ownership, understanding the stakes involved, I mean that side is not being talked about much.
@jahirsheikh8 Software engineer is never just about lines of code, it's about solving a problem, which starts with the diagnosis, creating solutions, evolving solutions etc. Lines of code is just a tool, like bricks when building a house.
