The Economics of Open-Weight Inference
A new publication examines the costs of running open-weight AI models for inference, comparing the economics of self-hosting open models against paid proprietary APIs. Discussion centers on when open-weight inference becomes cheaper, the infrastructure and operational overhead involved, and how pricing by major AI providers shapes the choice for developers and companies deploying large language models.
