Yes, there is warning, but also there are many providers on OpenRouter[0], hosting open weight model with similar pricing. The question is Will they go up as well?

Something similar happened with web search.

There used to be many site aggregators curated by people for different categories - kind of like sub-reddits. At the same time, there were purely algorithmic search engines (yahoo, google, etc.).

The algorithmic approach won, but aggregators still exist.

I hope that Llama 4 or 5 will have a different architecture. All released llamas are +/- same inference with a better training pipeline. The downside is that llamacpp will probably not be able to run new models and maybe it will be too much big rewrite, so we will need new c,cpp,go,rust programs.
