For sure not everyone can self host (though I suspect most tech and tech adjacent companies can).

But all the existing “safe/trusted” cloud providers will offer cheaper models. The choice won’t just be GitHub vs OpenRouter. It will be DeepSeek, qwen, Gemma on GitHub vs Opus on GitHub. I’m sure AWS, GCP, Azure, etc will be happy to sell open weight models. And those lower priced models will put a cap on how many people pay for higher priced models.
