You're paying $20/month for ChatGPT. $10 for Copilot. Maybe another $20 for Midjourney. And every prompt you type goes through someone else's server. Meanwhile, Alibaba just open-sourced a model that scores 73.4 on SWE-bench Verified - the benchmark where an AI autonomously reads a GitHub issue, understands the codebase, writes a fix, and runs the tests. That's frontier-level coding ability. And it runs on your gaming laptop. It's a Mixture-of-Experts model: 35B parameters total, but only 3B active per token. Your GPU loads 9 experts per token (8 routed + 1 shared) out of 256 total.
