       | product vision helping developers collaborate, but now they're
       | chasing the AI hype train with vague promises about "secure AI
       | sandboxes". I've been using CodeSandbox for a year and this feels
       | like watching a solid dev tools company get sacrificed on the
       | altar of AI FOMO.

         | slowly die.

       | Lol. Definitely not. I went through pricing and large scale
       | deployment of an AI system last week.

       | Together AI is at the bottom of the pile.

       | These are much better options in terms of both price /
       | performance / models etc: https://cerebras.ai/

       | Goes to show how frothy the market still is in AI. Large sums for
       | free to buy up companies.
