<p>As a small business you must be really really small to only be at $1000/mo token spend.<p>Part time/side gig?</p>

<p>Are you new to HN?<p>Why would you even doubt these claims? Do you use AI Agents or local models?<p>On the bright side, I think you work for some big company who doesn't use AI Agents at any capacity that we do. Maybe small business will win at our flexibility.</p>

<p>As an owner of a company spending $4000/mo on token spend. Yawn...<p>I tried every model under 1T and they are not useful for AI Agents.<p>If I want to use a regular chat model about amoral actions, the 7-9B abliterated models were fine.<p>I'm sure these 27B models can get you the weather after 5 minutes for the people who didn't buy Nvidia chips.</p>

<p>If people were praising American education, this wouldn't be an issue. But at least k12 is heavily criticized.</p>

<p>The longer I live, the less I'm impressed by fancy schools.<p>They don't make great labor. They are normal labor with egos until the age of ~25. Then they become normal labor without egos as the system killed their ego.<p>I really expected some secret sauce in Ivys/UoM, and nope. Electrical Engineers there didn't know how to figure out mass of a part given density(based on material) and volume.</p>

<p>I hope 'economic' backgrounds also mean nepo babies.</p>

<p>As someone who lives in this area... Sorry for saying this.. Ready for it:<p>Nepo babies and affirmative action babies. (Dont @ me about Gratz, lets not pretend its no longer happening)<p>The students that come out of there are just normal. There is nothing special in the UoM sauce. They have more ego as their state school grad who makes the same money as them.<p>Sure there is a floor, they didn't let the alcoholic nepo baby in. But the people that made it to entry level Fortune 20 companies were the same tier, or maybe they were worse. Best engineers were people from random schools around the country that just wanted to work there.<p>Note: This didn't apply to people that had been there for 2 or 3 years. After that, even the UoM grads had their ego destroyed and they were normal people again.</p>

<p>Healthcare still uses fax. No surprise they arent using Frontier AI to answer these questions. (And if you still don't trust AI, have the report on the left side of the screen and the source pages on the right side of the screen)</p>
