Look for Deepseek 4 when it drops, I’m curious how good it will be.

The thing is, if you’re using AI responsibly today you’re already breaking down tasks to such a granular level that you don’t need the power of Opus. You can save that for deeper research tasks.

Vibe coding requires the sota models to work at all, but someone who knows what they are doing and uses the AI more responsibly can absolutely use the cheaper Chinese models for coding, and they’re often faster too. If I was one of the big players my entire focus would be on lobbying for regulation and outright banning of local models.
Parlor is so cool, especially since you’re offering it for free. And a great use case for local LLMs.

Are they? Or are they just saying that to make their offerings more attractive to investors?

Plus I think most people using agents for coding are using subscriptions which they are definitely not profitable in.

Locally running models that are snappy and mostly as capable as current sota models would be a dream. No internet connection required, no payment plans or relying on a third party provider to do your job. No privacy concerns. Etc etc.
