I was paying openai, but with all the current politics, it looks like I’m probably going to switch to Anthropic.
I don’t have the resources or patience to run my own.
Why would I pay for a service to get things wrong. I can do that on my own for free
Gemini, use it a lot as an AA I’m my work, reviewing emails and RFPs
Can someone explain clearly what value you can get from a paid LLM that you can’t get from what is freely accessible?
Claude Code requires a paid subscription, but is the best agent harness at the moment for programming. An agent harness is the thing that lets it work on your project instead of sitting in a chat window.
I see, so you can say like “add this function” and it does it directly in your code
Yeah, just like that :)
None, I find the free plan enough for me.
I don’t pay for them yet, just use the free version for my phone, but Mistral AI seems like and ethical company.
They run a a more lightweight and environmentally friendly model and think they even open-source/weight their models too. I think like 56B parameters instead of like 600b that open ai and antrhopic probably use.
Being a smaller model it’s not as powerful as the big ones, but it’s pretty good!
none. I have never, and will never, pay for it.
I’ve paid for a few months of Midjourney to create some portraits for a few gaming characters. That’s about it.
oh the mistake of writing “AI” in lemmy lol. I have made this mistake before, you’ll recover
It’s funny considering people are clearly paying for it.
And thanks for checking in. We need more kindness like that in the world :D
I don’t pay for a single one, I’ll use their free services for a specific question to have it summarize the internet basically. I try and avoid chatgpt.
At work we have an internal AI system, and Claude. I utilize both of these to make my workload smoother - but have been finding myself just coding more often than using them because they almost all eventually produce garbage and refuse to listen when you say it’s wrong.
They’d have to pay ME to use their bullshit, and it wouldn’t be cheap.
I run it locally when needed. Can do LLMs and ImageGen, and i’m not stuck with those companies. Installation for LLMs was stupid easy, Imagegen was a bit more involved. Since I’m a Gamer, I already need a beefy GPU, so it’s nice to have a second use for my hardware.
I’m in IT, my company is trying to offer it as a service and sell it. I’m fully against it, but can’t voice my opinion since I do like my job and what I do. It really sucks.
I pay for Copilot because I have an Office subscription for the family. I never asked for Copilot to be included in it, but here we are.
What do you need from Office that you pay for it? There are great free alternatives
Nothing. But the family wants Office and I’m not imposing my ideology on them.
There is a way to downgrade to Office Family Classic that removes the co-pilot features and is cheaper.
Oooh gonna look that up tx
🙏
It’s ridiculous and should be illegal. I hope you get it figured out!
Did your price change when Copilot got included?
I don’t think so
I pay nothing and just rotate between gmail accounts when one hits a usage limit. I have about a dozen accounts so between all of them i get about as many tokens as i would a single paid account.
I started doing it first with Cursor AI, and i still use that too, but now googles Anti-gravity gives access to Claude and the usage limits are separate from the limits for Gemini. With all of it combined I have more then enough usage to do whatever i want without paying any of the corps a dime.
People pay for this shite? 🤣
