Claude and Open AI seems to be trying not to be 'Just a model', but this is intrinsically problematic because model can be degraded and prices only goes up once they lock-in customers. It is increasingly important for anyone who are responsible of managing 'AI workflows' to keep the sovereignty about how you use AI models. This is why I'm super excited in building the local-first workflow orchestration software called "Dagu", that allows us to own your harness on your own. It's not only more cost-effective, but outcome is better as well because you have 100% full control. I think it's only matter of time that people notice they need to own their workflow orchestration on their own not relying on Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google.
