Do think about b2b. Companies are already paying much more for AI. a new K3 (or similar model) every 6 months for a monthly rate of ~100$ per month is something MANY businesses would pay for. Then they could even sell them at half the price to consumers.
This will be considered very cheap within the year IMO. The value you get from AI is exponentially increasing and like all tech just takes some time to ramp up. Cell phones, internet and many other amenities when they came out many people were not willing to pay for but that all changed and considering how important AI tech is this will also be the case especially considering if its 100% private such as for that cartridge.
> The value you get from AI is exponentially increasing.
Perhaps in some cases, but the value I personally and professionally got out of LLMs reached a limit a while ago and has since kind of fluctuated between that limit and a bit less.
If the best model was instant, like the demo here, it could certainly provide more value, I guess, but I think the limit I'd quickly hit is the same one as now, which is how much of it do I want to produce, for what reasons?
That's because the super-enthusiast will upgrade in 4 months when a better model is released. The casual user would keep it for years. A year of claude at the lowest plan is almost $300
That's an interesting viewpoint, but one I've noticed is less prevalent in other languages.
The c# guys at microsoft created an enormous stdlib, and the overwhelming majority of it is pretty good. The outliers being of course older stuff they've never really had time to upgrade. And they don't seem to be afraid to deprecate stuff, every major version brings a couple of minor breaking changes. But it all seems to work out just fine somehow
C# massive standard library and first party libraries means much, much fewer external dependencies and these libraries are managed by a team of paid, professional engineers.
