Summary
LLM subsidies are drying up, subscription limits are tightening, and the astronomical data center CapEx has to be paid by someone — spoiler: it is you. In this episode, Fernando, Andrey, and Vladimir tackle what they call "the big squeeze": the two-sided pressure of rising AI costs and emerging local-inference technologies that could reshape how teams budget for and deploy AI. Along the way, they debate whether buying a Mac Mini is a rational investment or just hype, reveal the mental gymnastics required to get meaningful work out of a twenty-dollar subscription, and argue that if your AI vendor has no pricing page, that tells you everything you need to know about their business model.
