alt Hacker NewsAt the current rate, open sourced models are expected to surpass cloud models within a couple years based on a study I read a couple days ago.
Looking back at chatGPT and claude a couple years ago, very small Qwen models are basically equal in coding to what those cloud based models could do then. Also factoring in scaling laws, a 9b going to 18b is roughly a 40% increase, whereas 18b to 35b is 20%, I expect there will be a change of at least price in cloud based models.
Adobe used to be $600 per month, then it became $20 when distribution scaled.

What product is this referring to? I haven't heard about Adobe having any offering that is quite that expensive?
If you have a link to the study you read, please share it.
While this might be true I’m worried about the hardware side of things.
What if you have a good enough model but the cloud model providers are better in procuring hardware for interference?
