But why give Anthropic/openai our money? Nonsense. Use open models
Well they are subsidizing us for starters.
The author got $50 free credits.
Also Anthropic is by far the best, open (local) models are glorified autocomplete at best unless you casually have 20k€ worth of hardware at home.
Quality, simplicity, speed.
I have a ML Setup with 2 4090 and 128gb of ram, its warm when i use them for finetuning or batch processes.
I do not run them for coding. Its a lot easier and nicer to play around with better models for just 20 $.
