The AI craze is going strong. You would think it’d be over by now, but big boy companies keep throwing their money at Nvidia GPUs and overpriced LLM subscriptions. For the average Joe, GPT4 and GPT4o are more than enough to do your day-to-day tasks or if you’re a developer, you can just have OpenAI’s API do everything you’re too lazy to do.
