Heroku costs don't scale.
Paying $20/month for 3 apps. We have more ideas to deploy but can't justify the cost as we grow.
Need auto-scaling without managing our own VPS.

I'm curious if there are any #Austin #Tech enthusiasts out here on Bluesky. I've been living in Austin for over 20 years, and I would really love to be a part of local tech based events if things are going on. I've been to a few over the years, but it doesn't seem that there are as many these days.

This is the take I agree with. The large scale LLMs are going to phase out in favor of local LLMs. Look at GPT OSS 20B and tell me it’s not good enough for 90% of use cases.

What do you think about Apple's foundation models? Only v1—don't discount them. @mikedoise.bsky.social and I built Perspective Intelligence powered by them: Maps, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Image Playground. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/perspective-intelligence/id6448894750

Not ChatGPT quality but fun to play with. We built Perspective Intelligence powered by them—tools for Maps, Reminders, Contacts, Calendar. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/perspective-intelligence/id6448894750
I added this toggle to disable “Apple Intelligence” than later commented out the Foundation Model code. The on device models really sucks. Maybe it’s better with tools. #iosdev #buildinpublic

I keep hearing about the new Llama CPP UI and plan to try it in my on device AI workflow this week. For those who already tested it, what stood out to you. What worked well and what slowed you down. I am interested in real world results. #AI
