If you are still on the “cheap Chinese models will take share from US labs” cope train you need to get off. US labs are now distilling their own models to compete across the Pareto frontier, so Haiku is better model than Kimi at 1/8th the cost. The only reason to use it is if you MUST self-host.

I feel like "I fucking hate you and don't want to contribute to your success" is perhaps underrated as a reason to pay white-label inference providers over the frontier labs.

I think this is the single largest motivator of my use of open weights. There was that few month window where it really seemed like every professional programmer (or anyone who wanted to become one) was going to HAVE to pay OAI or Ant, and I felt genuinely kind of unwell.
