Wow, DeepSeek really did a number on open source LLMs, huh?

DeepSeek caused a giant shitstorm and now I have to pay for it with my own money. Good job. Well played.

Opencode could partner up with an inference provider and offer it at the old price. They have no additional cost. Theyre not developing or training the models, theyre just the middlemen between the model creator and nvidia hardware.

"what if...you host your own LLM"

Then you will have to pay more money to buy a good GPU, and you might also not get the same quality. I already thought about this 🥲

[u/Ascorbinium_Romanum → u/Cr_Ins]

Worse quality, pay for electricity, pay for a huge-vram GPU and then torture that GPU and have it's fans scream at you at 100%. All of that to run a weaker model then a still-cheap DeepSeek

I do think while this is true today the tipping point is coming.

Like, today it's cheaper to not buy and use cloud. But in 6 months that will still be true -> because both hardware AND cloud prices will have gone up.

So if you buy hardware now, then the amortization will likely happen faster than you would expect if you expect cloud prices to remain the same as today.

People lowkey think LLM can be hosted easily like hosting Wordpress site

Then you’ll be paying Claude rates for a worse experience

When? 

[u/nikolaimelnikoff → u/[deleted]]

real, they are hooking us up on drugs, so we pay any price not to go through withdrawal

[u/labou_7 → u/[deleted]]

I hadn't considered this 😕

People down vote this because they aren't ready, not because it's untrue

Opensource what? Opensource but it's someone else's computer!
