BREAKING: Only ~1% of Bending Spoons’ AI requests & tokens goes to frontier models. 99% runs on self-hosted open-weight models. CEO Luca Ferrari on the shift to Sovereign AI: “We end up using open-weight models we self-host, so these are basically free. I mean, there is a little bit of cloud cost, but for 99% of the requests and tokens.” “And the frontier models, generally closed weight, through APIs for maybe 1% of the requests, only for the most complex tasks.” “Sometimes we use them automatically to check the work that got done by the slightly less intelligent models, as a more senior engineer would with a more junior engineer.”
