OpenCode Go team on hard economics: making LLMs affordable beats easy enterprise money
gharik · x · 2026-09-28
thdxr says the team working on OpenCode Go has "the hardest job": figuring out near-impossible economics with customers always upset they're not getting more. He notes the rest of the industry acts too good to focus on making LLMs affordable — an unglamorous problem — but Costco, Walmart and Amazon are all incredible businesses built that way. Reposting gharik adds that while there are mountains of money in b2b enterprise AI and it looks dumb not to chase it, their mission is bringing these tools to as many people as possible.
