alt Hacker NewsI wonder if for a model that small with a permissive license it might not be worth their time to host a commercial grade inference stack?
Might be easier to chuck it over the fence and let other providers handle it as it'll run in almost any commercial grade card?
Also speculating, but I wonder if it might also create a bit of a pricing problem relative to Gemini flashlight depending on serving cost and quality of outputs?
As a comparison, despite being SotA for their size, the smallest qwen models on openrouter (27b and 35b) are not at all worth using, as there are way bigger and better models for less oricemon a per token basis

i dont know what are you talking about, i replaced an older gpt4o with a finetuned qwen. there is a huge amount of "AI, that can be done with those models, or partly by those models." Huge amount of people would not notice the difference. And if you prepare the context correctly, even bigger slice of people would not notice.
If you were to believe a lot of metrics Gemma 31B it’s much better than flash lite. It seems like I should be able to pay Google to use it and that should be at least a secretary, called action how I can do that but it’s missing from both the blog post entirely.
