All the article relies on the premise that selling tokens is profitable. I don't see any indication for this, and it makes the whole house of card crumble.

Very unpalatable completely LLM-written article, but on top of that a lot of the fundations and conclusions are completely wrong, the main one being this one:

You will see people claim Claude uses 2x to 4x the tokens of GPT. Our measurements do not support that, and overstating it would undercut the real point.

It's not because a single prompt represents only 1.7x the number of tokens that a model doesn't use 4x as many tokens as another, when running as an agent. This doesn't take at all the number of tokens of the output into account, and the number of tokens of the potential tool calls from this output, which directly feeds back to input tokens.

The article also has a very small test set (16 documents), all of very small length (15K tokens at most, when models go up to 1M in context and agents routinely exceed this and have to summarize).

Complete garbage article.

Anyone who recommends to ask an LLM in the first situation will do so in the second because they're a shit engineer.

"Ask the LLM" is not at all a valid answer in a professional context where part of your job is to educate the less experienced, no matter how little effort is put in the question.

Some new slopware from CloudFlare. They've really lost the plot since they've gone all-in on AI development.

I think it's the contrary. People don't want Zuckerberg reading their private messages, and everyone in Eutope uses WhatsApp, which is advertised as E2E encrypted.

Therefore it makes Chat Control 2 a harder sell.

To be fair I think "<anything> Control" makes it pretty clesr it's nefarious. They missed the opportunity to call it "Chat Safety".

It's funny but their homepage exemplifies why one may actually want the "knockoff" brands.

$39 instead of $224 for a pet bed. I know which one I'll buy.

There are plenty of categories of items where the cheap knockoff is perfectly adequate.

OpenAI and Anthropic aren't charities, so whatever cost they inccur for training will be passed down to the companies using the models. So you absolute should include it.

This is useless because AI has nothing to do with intelligence. It's just software.

You cannot ban local AI without banning local software which is obviously impossible.

Possession of software, even software that can be used for illegal purpose such as RATs and other viruses isn't illegal.
