alt Hacker NewsWhere on earth are you getting these numbers? Why would a SaaS company that is fighting for market dominance withhold 10x performance if they had it? Where are you getting 2.5x?
This is such bizarre magical thinking, borderline conspiratorial.
There is no reason to believe any of the big AI players are serving anything less than the best trade off of stability and speed that they can possibly muster, especially when their cost ratios are so bad.
Not magical thinking, not conspiratorial, just hypothetical.
Just because you can't afford to 10x all your customers' inference doesn't mean you can't afford to 10x your inhouse inference.
And 2.5x is from Anthropic's latest offering. But it costs you 6x normal API pricing.
