a reminder that, in closed source AI from companies like OpenAI & Anthropic you have zero control over how the models behave, and they can > quantize it > distill it > hot-swap to a cheaper/weaker checkpoint > make the model manipulative > fine-tune it in ways that break safety or depth > drop its IQ > run experiments on you and/or your data > throttle output speed or raise prices > sunset the entire model/version > block your request for any made-up bs reason they have all the knobs & you're at their mercy you won't even get a changelog opensource FTW Buy a GPU
