alt Hacker News>Being open is nice though, even though it doesn't matter that much for folks like me with a single consumer GPU.
Of course it matters because that makes coding plans much cheaper than those from Anthropic and OpenAI.
For personal use I have coding plans with GLM 5.1, Kimi K2.6, MiniMax M2.7 and Xiaomi MiMo V2.5 Pro and I am getting a lot of bang for the buck.
Currently it's not a huge difference given the subsidies of closed model subscriptions. Once that stops then yea it will be really nice to have open models as price competitors.
