M$ is changing the billing model and /r/GithubCopilot isn’t very happy about it.

This post is https://www.reddit.com/r/GithubCopilot/comments/1tbfkui/ill_just_leave_this_here/ but there are a lot like it.

    It’ll never be profitable. They’re selling a dream.

      Bundling it with existing business contracts and raising the prices might be profitable. Provided that it’s not actually used much.

        It’ll be cheaper to use Indians than use Claude. Every major American model is subsidised to get people addicted.

          My AI enthusiast friends are interested in hosting their own model on a beefy laptop or a rack in their back closet. There are just so many better options than giving Microsoft $6000/month (or $600/month).

            You can do that, but for a curve fit (“AI”) algorithm that’s trained for specific pattern matching, not something you train on the entire Internet worth of data.

              I thought that if you download a pretrained model (probably a “lite” variant) it can get you pretty far, no?

                Ah. I see. Not your own model; just your own hosting infrastructure.

                Yeah, you could potentially do it. You’ll get the same junk they’re delivering with the model running on their infrastructure though, of course.
