I kind of think that these threads are destined to fossilize quickly. Most every syllogism about LLMs from 2024 looks quaint now.

A more interesting question is whether there's really a future for running a coding agent on a non-highest setting. I haven't seen anything near "Shall I implement it? No" in quite a while.

Unless perhaps the highest-tier accounts go from $200 to $20K/mo.
