No need for a data center with the energy consumption of Manhattan….

Tedious secondary work which the tiny model does just perfectly (and more thorough than I myself would do it).

As the hardware is already available from other projects, that will literally just costs me some cents, compared to probably 20+€ if I would let some Anthropic model do the same work.

So I am really not surprised.
You just don't need the latest frontier models for most stuff any more...
