Commercial service have a context of 64k tokens, which I find quite limiting.

Running it locally is quite a bit beyond the scope of being productive while coding with AI.

Beside that 128k is still significantly less than Claude

Shouldn't we be comparing with other open source model? In particular since this is about llama3.3 then they have the exact context limit which is 128k [1]. Also

Why?

Whenever using a model to be more effective as a developer I don't particularly care if the model is open source or closed source.

I would love to use open source models as well, but the convenience to just plug an API against some endpoints in unbeatable.
