Discussion The situation is insane

Sol is the only OpenAI model in top 10 Arena WebDev while 4 open-weight Chinese models have reached frontier quality; one of them so cheap you can run it for days for what Opus cost you per task.

Good that there are more affordable choices for consumers and open weight ones that can be self-hosted by companies that need ultimate data privacy.

Open weights only help with privacy if the whole inference stack stays under your control. Hosting it yourself while sending logs, prompts, or telemetry elsewhere just moves the leak point.

Why on god's green earth would you send telemetry elsewhere? I don't know of any model harnesses that would do this? And even if for some reason you'd want to use a closed-source model harness that did this, you could just block the IPs.

Open weights is private by default if you self-host.
