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.

The data center is still needed, just not the same scale. You don't run "small" local models to compete with Claude's size. They don't publish numbers, but estimates were like 1-2T params for the models like early Opus. You need a lot of hardware to run those efficiently at a scale an enterprise would need.

Or they just spent enough to upgrade developer desktops with RTX Pro's to run quantized ~100B param models at their desks. Those are very good for coding.

According to them they host 54 B200 cards to do code generation. While claude etc does the high level planning and design
