Just a joke, but you’re right I can like open source and not want to self host

It should be at least cheaper if anyone can host it, no?
I think this is the majority view.
If rumours OpenAI are doing 70% margins on inference and Anthropic doing 30% margins, then open weights models hosted on clouds happy with 10% margins increase competition and decrease cost. I’m game, like most. Much easier compliance with data sovereign concerns too.

That difference is actually pretty surprising. Is Claude that much more expensive to host? The end-user pricing seems to be pretty similar, or better for OpenAI.
