The data center is still needed, just not the same scale. You don't run "small" local models to compete with Claude's size. They don't publish numbers, but estimates were like 1-2T params for the models like early Opus. You need a lot of hardware to run those efficiently at a scale an enterprise would need.

Or they just spent enough to upgrade developer desktops with RTX Pro's to run quantized ~100B param models at their desks. Those are very good for coding.

    I'm ao sick of this headline. It's been hitting a new low every week for the past 2 years. You'd think it was at 0 by now, if you were to believe this bullshit headline.

    I didn't realize the business plans were token metered differently from the Pro plan I've been on for a while. $20/month, and it has session/weekly limits, but I rarely hit them, and I use it, a lot.

    I do wonder if this will encourage businesses to branch out into running local models for simpler tasks.
