Confidential Industry Communications
What they don't want you to know about efficiency
"Models like Qwen 2.5 3B are an existential threat. If developers realize they can get similar results locally for free, our entire SaaS model collapses. We need to emphasize 'complexity' and 'maintenance costs' to keep them dependent."
"I've tested dozens of 3B models. Qwen 2.5 3B is the efficiency breakthrough we've been waiting for. It runs on a Raspberry Pi and outperforms cloud solutions costing thousands. This changes everything for edge computing."
"We're seeing a massive shift. Startups are rejecting cloud AI for local deployment. Qwen 2.5 3B enables them to build sophisticated AI products without burning cash on APIs. It's creating a new category of capital-efficient AI companies."
"Our CEO asked why we're spending $50K/month on AI APIs when this 3B model runs on our users' phones. I had no good answer. We're migrating everything to Qwen 2.5 3B. The efficiency gains are staggering."
🎭 The Efficiency Threat Exposed
Cloud AI's dirty secret? Small, efficient models like Qwen 2.5 3B threaten their entire business model. Every successful local deployment is a subscription they lose forever. The efficiency revolution is real, and they're terrified.
