Not a source but a comparison with a weaker non-SOTA model:
Nvidia's top AI chip Rubin sells in 72-GPU racks for about $3.5–7.8M. A rack running Xiaomi's MiMo V2.6 Pro generates roughly 150–300B tokens a day, worth about $130–260k at Xiaomi's API price. That's a payback of the infrastructure in a few weeks in theory. After a few weeks or a month, the only cost is electricity, and whatever they make after that is pure profit.
OpenAI and Anthropic are practically scamming people with the token prices.
will likely continue, press X to doubt, young adults and teens are being raised with the US being the clown country in the world, surely that will affect how it is perceived
A lot of this sentiment isn't misplaced, I get it. But, the US is still gives the greatest economic opportunity to anyone willing to try. The biggest market, deepest capital pools, unmatched startup ecosystem, etc.
I know economic opportunity isn't everything, but to me as Founder that's still a big appeal :)
openbsd.amsterdam is notable because they use the openbsd native vmm as the vm host. It is obsd all the way down over there.
It is a small and no frills service but the sys-admin, who runs the project, is very helpful and attentive. That is to say probably much better and human customer service than the big players. There are definite downsides, but if a project fits, highly recommended.
Great service for small personal blog or a testbed. OpenBSD has httpd + acme client for SSL termination & automated rotation so the base system has just enough to host a low traffic website. For anything that requires uptime one will have to buy multiple VMs and handle the uptime story themselves, since they go down regularly for maintenance.
The fact that they donate back to OpenBSD is great though. I own a VM there for testing stuff.
They are cool, man they've grown. I used that when there were ~20 VM's on there. Its a great project but think its only physically in Amsterdam which is why I ended up moving back to vultr, as they have many more options.
Man I always look at this project with nothing by awe. I'd love to start something like this... if you're in central Switzerland and would like to copy their model, hit me up.
That's why it matters for people to hold the control of the tech, not companies, as I've already mentioned quite clearly.
LLM is here to stay, keep denying the fact won't work. What does is to make the tech so abundant, it flushes the bad actors, such as for-profit AIs, completely out. It's either this, or get crushed by for-profit AIs, pick one.
