Depends on the use case. Training local llms is a lot cheaper after Galore and there are ways to get useful local models with only a moderate amount of effort, see e.g. augmentoolkit.

This may or may not be practical in many use cases.

24 months is pretty generous but no doubt there will be significantly less demand for junior developers in the near future.
