What was said
"When you use our harness with Claude, it was simultaneously 1.4x cheaper and 1.5x faster than just using Anthropic Opus-48 alone. But if you wrap the open source model with our software factory, it was 16.4x cheaper. Now it was 3 times slower, but you know, you're talking about a couple of extra hours to save 16.4x."
Chamath revealed that 8090's Software Factory running on Chinese open source models delivers enterprise AI tasks at 16.4x lower cost than Anthropic, though 3x slower. He argued that at this price differential, continuing to use frontier labs that leak your competitive advantage to competitors is derelict and irresponsible for enterprises. The data supports the case for AI sovereignty using open models.
