If that's true, it's very unsustainable.

Gemma-4 26B-A4B + M5 MacBook Pro + OpenCode isn't Claude Code _yet_, but it's good enough that if I were forced to use it I would be fine.

Yes, it's amazing how quickly so many tech companies have hitched their tooling to these big AI vendors seemingly without any thought towards whether they'll still exist a year or three or five from now. Insane behavior. To the (debatable!) extent that AI coding tools are useful at all wouldn't it be a hell of a lot smarter to self-host? At least that way you have some control over QoS, and a stable, predictable result... Or maybe nobody cares about that kind of thing anymore? What happened to basic business math in this industry?

		The basic business math is (to start) software companies realizing that spending $10k, $20k, $50k (more ?) per year, per developer for current models at current token rates might not be particularly insane, given the value return. Models are likely going to keep getting better, and as costs go down, demand is likely to rise faster.
