Interesting, where are you moving to?

[–] sanitation@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We are looking into open router and kimi 2.7, mimo, glm 5.2 models.
You can still use opus/sonnet models all the same, they are just wicked expensive.

There are tools like opencode and kilocode for coding.

I had to move to Kimi K2.6 because Claude models are too expensive to use. BYK from OpenRouter. I have not tested GLM models.

As they stop subsidizing, everything is going to get more and more expensive until they price everyone out. If they are actually "selling shovels for a gold rush," they are cooked. A lot of companies can't afford to use Ai heavily anymore. Customers are going to dry up.

Exactly. It's hilarious just couple days back our ceo pulled 4 devs out and congratulated us on spending 2k a month each and apparently blowing company limit, I'm now tasked with finding alternatives hahaha. Definitely openrouter and kimi 2.7 and glm 5.2 are on my roadmap. I will need to do a presentation for ceo

I am surprised that anyone who can make decisions realized the June Ai bill was going to be crazy. I was betting it would take until July, when the crazy June bill is charged, for companies to realize they can't afford frontier models.

Have you tried composer-2.5? Supposedly it's fast, decent, and far cheaper than sonnet.

It's based on kimi 2.5. but since then kimi 2.6 and 2.7 came out already. Yeah I've used it
