British fintech Revolut slashes "AI" coding costs 10x by cutting out Claude and going self-hosted (www.theregister.com)

Revolut says that in less than a year it's managed to slash its [code generation] costs by roughly 90 percent by making self-hosted models its default instead of relying primarily on commercial services like Claude.

This is also my opinion. I always advocate for putting GenAI models under UNESCO stewardship, because they are a snapshot of all digital, cultural output the world has to offer, and therefor they aren't less important than physical cultural artifacts. Free personal use, licensed use for commercial usage, with lower prices for educational/nongovernmental organisations. Use the funding to provide grants to the arts in a large scale.

I think a sensible place for this would be the base models, those are the ones that are trained on the entire internet in order to get a good working model that "understands" things. Then leave the fine tunes on those base model commons as available for companies and organisations to bring their own value to.

Holy shit! What an excellent idea.
