Chamath Palihapitiya: "When you use our harness with Claude, it was simultaneously 1.4x cheaper and 1.5x faster than just using Anthropic Opus 4.8 alone" "But if you wrap the open source model with our software factory, it was 16.4x cheaper" This is him reading out the numbers from his own pilot: "So we took our software factory, which is an agnostic third party control plane, and we just wanted to see, and we ran it on a very typical enterprise task, which is you have an old piece of code, you want to migrate it and you want to maintain it in a new framework so that it's easier and more flexible." "Now it was three times slower. But you're talking about a couple of extra hours to save 16.4x." "This was all using open router on a very traditional hardware stack." "If you are a reasonable company, why are you not finding an independent way to access this intelligence in a way that doesn't leak your edge away? To do so at this point now is kind of becoming derelict and irresponsible." "To continue to make the same decision, I think is really insanely dumb." Bookmark & watch today ↓
