I mean eventually open weight models will be good enough to do the few things AI is actually good at, and then there’s another reason to not pay astronomical prices.
I switched las month from GPT-OSS-120B to Gemma4 31B. For some simple scripts I found the latter considerably mor efficient, less verbose and with better results. At the same time the sycophancy is much worse.
No way I'll use cloud based models and feed the data base. But also local models clearly like to burn energy.
What's your use case? To me, lazy api doc search, and grammar/flow check
I don't know shit about fuck when it comes to servers and networking, so my use case is a self hosting assistant, help me understand proxmox, write yaml, maintain documentation, configure .arr stack etc.
I don’t use AI for anything.
Oh wait. I have started using it for something. I use it to look over contracts as a first pass and ask it to point out any red flags. I still read the contracts, but it can help find obvious unacceptable terms.
Good one. Any sort of "give me a rough idea of..." works. But I don't trust it for anything slightly serious
