(earlier version of this tweet specified open source which really has been the main pain point, e.g. getting OLMo and Marin variants going, + should have kept that in in retrospect - there are American options but there tends to be a performance penalty and/or they're opaque)

@Miles_Brundage is it as simple as kimi? no. but also the more apt. comparison would be something like openbmb or internlm

@Miles_Brundage hm, at least if you don't need max performance, renting a gpu and asking claude/codex to set up vllm and the correct parser etc is what i do and will give you an endpoint in like 10-20 minutes
