I have a different concern: the SOTA products are expensive and get dumbed down on busy times. My personal strategy has been to be a late follower, where I adopt new AI tools when the competition has caught up with the previous SOTA, and now there are many tools that are cost effective and equally good.

Can't wait for when the competition catches up with Claude Code, especially the open source/weights Chinese alternatives :)

If you haven't tried it yet, OpenCode is quite good.
