CEO of Vercel; creator of Next.js and Socket.IO. Writes at rauchg.com.
Looks like today may be a record day for token volume % of open models on Vercel AI Gateway: 🟦 Open 78.4% 🟨 Closed 21.6% While spend 💲 usually tells a different story, #3 and #4 today are Moonshot AI & DeepSeek. Adding Z.ai, their combined spend surpasses OpenAI (#2). (Do note that's the spend for inference of the model across providers (mostly in the US), not revenue going directly to the open weight labs.)

GFI (and the alternative) If you can provide the cheapest, fastest and best option, there will be a line out the door for your service or product. Most providers know, though, that good, fast and inexpensive are trade-offs. You will have trouble…

The only way to avoid extreme power concentration is to ensure we have multiple independent providers of frontier AI models, including open-source options.

I find it interesting that everyone has noticed that only (and all of the) US AI providers are down but as yet nobody is suggesting this is possibly something more than your everyday Thursday outage. Related

i’ve been using claude for all things home-related and it’s amazing. (just dump all files in and let claude index, summarize, and organize.) even better than being a repository of all receipts, it helps me maintain a spreadsheet that i can download and send to accountants, draft emails for correspondence with service providers, and proactively flag issues that i wouldn’t have realized otherwise. Quoting @money_cruncher Open a new gmail as soon as you buy a house (123house@gmailcom) Then save/forward every single receipt, invoice, quote etc to this email for all your home improvements: - replacing an entire roof - new flooring - new hvac system - building a new deck - etc These improvements raise your cost basis,… Anthropic Related

Earlier this year, the FTC Chair said "you're going to have a hard time keeping up with the number of cases we're gonna be bringing" on privacy. I guess this is starting? See https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/Hims-Complaint-Redacted-E-Filed.pdf. The bulk of the complaint is about standard scammy practices, but there's this section where the FTC is going after them because they promised to keep information private but use tracking pixels from various ad providers, which inherently share information about the user information.

Just noticed a vibe-coded project of mine cost $200/month to serve a few dozen users/day 😭 Turns out it was doing 10s of millions of unnecessary Redis polls/day, even when idle - telemetry alone cost $$ a possible clue for why infra providers are growing so much right now Related

For some projects I've started to use Hetzner for vps hosting. I've found you can get more powerful servers for a cheaper cost than with providers like DigitalOcean.

Why are so many people so sure that the big AI providers are losing money on inference? It reminds me of the comments about how Uber can never make money. Their unit economics were fine and they were only losing money because they chose to do so on customer acquisition. Related

Their words
if you want a very good all-around model with excellent reasoning. As an open model, you can either use it hosted on the original Chinese DeepSeek site or from a number of local providers.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
