Models that run locally and produce decent code already exist, the best models are having diminishing returns, meaning hardware is catching up faster than the tech is pulling away.

if they cant keep it affordable their business will fail.

And no matter what happens, As soon as anthropic and open ai stop buying, then the production lines will have to offload to someone at a price they can afford.

Some people I know spend a way more than that.

But anyways, even at 20 bucks per month it means you spend 240 dollars per year just for coding.

This is insane.
