We've had this discussion at work, but more in a "what if they keep hiking up the price" rather than Anthropic going down. The conclusion we reached was, we will probably move to local models, possibly open source, due to how much they are improving, and will most likely improve by the time this happens

Same. Anthropic is great, probably the best... this week. Even if the open source models never catch up, having something 90% as good for a fraction of the cost (capex + electrical bills) will definitely make it attractive.

Yeah I agree this is probably the long-term move. But I give it another year or two till we get an open source model that's comparable to even sonnet 4 which imo is where it started getting really solid.
