Fiber lasts decades, GPUs last three years: the AI boom isn't the dot-com boom [video] (youtube.com) 13 points by frag 1 hour ago | hide | past | favorite | 12 comments help deadlast2 51 minutes ago | next [–] If you use opencode for your AI work or becomes affordable. To the point where you would reasonably build applications with intelligence the LLM version. I think in the near future the intelligence will be free and there is no business in free. I know it is a big statement but if you look around there is already a large amount of free models of gradually increasing strength. For most applications you don't need a gpt6 reply orwin 1 hour ago | prev | next [–] I don't want to argue here, but once models are trained, using them is quite cheap. Also in the last few months most improvements I've seen are in the smaller sized models, which might make using models even cheaper. reply Driver4732 54 minutes ago | parent | next [–] If the models are cheap to run, while good for customers, isn't that a problem for hyperscalers and all the investment poured into the AI data center build out? reply BryanBigs 5 minutes ago | root | parent | next [–] All of this spending only has a chance of paying off if video generation takes off. reply KevinMS 14 minutes ago | parent | prev | next [–] > using them is quite cheap. until the other guys comes out with a slightly better model, then using yours wont be cheap enough. reply nisegami 1 hour ago | parent | prev | next [–] There's this weird tension where small models are getting a lot better, but the gap between the frontier and "what I can run on my gaming GPU" at home isn't necessarily getting smaller. That said, Qwen-3.8-27B-Q3 runs on my 9700 XT and performs well enough for tool calling in agents, which is a critical floor in local model performance imo. reply TonyStr 35 minutes ago | root | parent | next [–] Do you use qwen for any coding? Do you make a frontier model orchestrate it? Are you running with llama.cpp? Sorry for the barrage of questions, but I've been interesting in local AI for a while, yet I've struggled to set up anything usable. reply esseph 30 minutes ago | root | parent | next [–] Just go download and install lemonade server. Open web ui for front end. There are mobile apps to connect to it. https://lemonade-server.ai/ reply smashspectacle 1 hour ago | prev | next [–] Ed Zitron is going to become the Simpsons of ai critiques... reply DennisP 16 minutes ago | prev | next [–] Bad for hyperscalers. Good for Nvidia. reply jdietrich 1 hour ago | prev | next [–] Siri, what's the spot price for an A100? reply mono442 38 minutes ago | prev [–] Another thing to pay attention to is the margins of hardware companies like nvidia or micron. Hyperscalers are spending huge amount of money but the money mostly goes to the profits of hardware companies. reply Consider applying for YC's Winter 2027 batch!
