"Some Chinese open models are now 80 percent to 90 percent as powerful as those from OpenAI and Anthropic, while costing as little as 20 percent of the price..."
For many/most problems, they are 100% as powerful. With solar panels, the amortised cost is close to zero (if you / your company has a suitable PC already).
Importantly, you have control over which model runs, how much effort it makes.
Consider, one of the most irritating things about cloud AI is that they keep changing the model & behaviour & quality behind the scenes. Availability is also unpredictable.
It is very hard to run a business in a predictable way with that sort of thing happening.
