Is it still worth paying for top-tier AI models, or could open-source, locally hosted models now stand as serious contenders? Although metrics suggest the open-source models haven’t quite caught up, what if they could achieve competitive performance when working together as a team?To explore this, I conducted an experiment combining multiple small open-source models to see if their collective intelligence could rival a high-end, paid solution. The results reveal interesting insights into the pot...

As AI continues to advance, its role in software development is getting more exciting by the day. In this case study, I set out to build an app from scratch that mimics the iconic red-tinted Terminator vision from the movies, using only verbal communication with the AI — and I aimed to do it all within an hour. It was a fun experience with some interesting results that I’m excited to share. Let’s explore the process and the potential it demonstrates.The purpose of this exercise was to explore th...
