Meanwhile, in the real world, my company has locked down usage of Anthropic’s top-tier models, because costs were out of control. Even the low-end models are usage-capped, and developers are starting to write code by hand again.
And we’re busily setting up local models we control ourselves on our network edge. We’ll probably end up with a modest budget for frontier models (until the model providers collapse), but most of the coding will be done by local models and developers themselves.
And that seems to be the way the entire industry is going, unless Anthropic starts subsidizing tokens with investor money again.
In conclusion: Get fucked, Dario.
You hiring? 🤓
Hmm. Maybe. How much VRAM you got?
Honest answer? Not much… yet. As the stupidity of “tokenmaxxing” and replacing developers with hallucinations-and-plagiarism engines really comes into focus, I expect developer hiring to ramp back up.
Complex programs are going to absolutely collapse from all the bugs introduced by vibe coding tokenmaxxers.
It’s already happening. Software instability is becoming a major problem.

If you’re running Apple hardware I’ve liked what little I’ve seen personally from the MLX enhanced models running locally.
Anthropic is only useable within a subscription. Once you hit that limit, you pay like 10x more per token. Fuck that.
