Stumbled across this today and I have to admit the capriciousness of it put me on my heels.
I guess once you get big enough you can stop having to explain yourself or deal with customer service / resolution.

I think you’d be surprised at how common that use case is. Sentiment analysis, advice, help and general chat.
Technical coding stuff makes up maybe 5%.
Split as needed.
You would think that the premier cloud-based service would have that on lock. Their own internal polling shows the trend.

What I think will end up happening is that the online providers will crater their good will as one stop shops and trend towards business use cases / API. Maybe that’s just me being a cynic.
No I think that’s the realistic way forward sans real AGI.
If you mean “keep as much local as you can, route to cloud for heavy tasks?”, then we probably agree.
IMHO there stuff that just out of reach for most consumer grade local rigs.
Even the bigger open weight models are now in the 1T range. The new Kimi 2.6 can technically be installed at home…if your home happened to have a $300K server.
I think maybe the real benefit of these large, competitive, open weight models is that they stop the established players (eg: OAI, Anthropic) from just cranking the costs upwards to far / running roughshod. If you can pay $10 a month to access something that is very nearly as good as SOTA, then…why would you pay $100 - $300?
