| Does every large company have a big server with some h100s and a couple of open weight models for just such an occasion. Especially if you don’t have the luxury of being able to wait or postpone eg under cyber attack? |

| Only until NVIDIA starts cryptography verification and block anything not from US closed models, which should be anytime soon |

| Just get an OpenRouter or Vercel account. Your option aren't pay Anthropic or buy hardware yourself, there are hundreds of providers out there. |

| ▲ | sausagefeet a day ago | parent | next [-] | | It depends on what "us" means. I am switched off of Claude almost entirely now except for background things where I want to abuse my subsidized account. Otherwise, OpenRouter + open weight models are my daily drivers. It takes a bunch of work but I'm doing it for roughly a max20 account cost, a bit more, but it's not like the difference is huge. They are less capable but I've modified my workflow to mitigate that as much as possible, and I can still do things when Anthropic goes down. | | |
| ▲ | Alwayshasbeeb a day ago | parent [-] | | What models are you using? I was satisfied with deepseek v4.1 while ai was still using my brain, before being time-pressured into shipping something I don't understand and now I feel I need stronger models to steer it. Kimi K3 or the closed models through openrouter is too expensive compared to subsidized plans though so I'm using a $20 sub for light reviews/consultations. |

| There is an absolute tonne of competition. |
