CitrateNetwork reports Revolut moved 2,000 engineers onto a self-hosted open-weight model: US-hosted, 30¢ per million tokens, with coding time down 60%.
SaulLoveman endorsed the move, arguing that rationing cloud AI is over and owning your stack wins. This corroborates the Reddit report that Revolut cut AI coding costs 10x by replacing Claude with a self-hosted open model.
