Wow, finally a meaningful AI startup playbook beyond 'be a thin wrapper around the openAI api'.
First make something unsustainable, then once your users are hooked do a classic bait and switch to an inferior self-hosted AI model and reap rewards!
...of course, some people will complain, but remember, you can always just tell them they're stupid and randomly rotate the real model back in 1/10th of the time or for demos or promotions, or charge for a 'premium' model.
I never really thought about this before, but I bet lots of AI startups are already doing this!
(I am being sarcastic; this is some deep user-hostile-for-profit action, and yet another reason to be both skeptical of, and avoid, AI startups. Enshitification at its finest.)
