Budget AI vs Premium AI: The only PMF question that matters:
Is the problem you're solving worth the price you're charging? Budget AI wins on volume × good enough. Premium #
AI# wins on quality × irreplaceable. Both need to find the space the other can't touch.
For Budget AI builders:Your moat is razor thin. A cheaper model ships every quarter. If your only edge is price, you don't have an edge.
For Premium AI builders:Your "irreplaceability" is being eroded constantly. You need to keep moving, or Budget AI catches up.
