| Anthropic and Google already charge extra to use your own harness. That's 100% of the reason I'm using OpenAI. If they go down that path I'll just go back to my old buddy Claude, or maybe buy a second Spark and keep it local. |

| Well, my backup plan is GLM. Cheap and not that bad really. |

| Google is really not distinguishing itself. Even the hosted inference sucks. |

| ▲ | brookst 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | Google has the benefit of billions of devices in the wild that they control. Anthropic really doesn’t have distribution for local models, makes sense they’re not playing in that space. | | |
| ▲ | embedding-shape 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | Sure, lots of differences. Point stands, they're distinguishing themselves in that way at least. | | |
| ▲ | brookst 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Oh sure, full agreement. In fact given how mid Gemini has been in cloud, this may turn out to be critical strategy to avoid losing cloud to Anthropic / OpenAI / DeepSeek / whoever, and local to Apple (doesn’t seem likely now, but that’s what BlackBerry, Creative, Intel said). |
