- billycao 2y agoThanks a bunch! For launch/beta, we're paying for the GPU time ourselves. :) Quoting Matt below: "We weren't really sure how to price it, so we're using the beta period for now to figure out what mix of models people are using and trying to figure out reasonable pricing based on that, and also ironing out various bugs and sharp edges. Then we'll start charging for it; personally I'd prefer to have it be usage-based pricing rather than the monthly subscriptions that ChatGPT and Claude use, so that you can treat it more like API access for those companies and don't have to worry about message caps." Open to feedback here! :) - Billy
- tcsenpai 2y agoThanks for the info! I think implementing both an usage based version for example on the API access and a flat fee for let's say the webapp can be a way to go, to increase flexibility, but is a personal opinion. I like Perplexity model which is like that, I can use the webapp for daily quick searches and use the API for more programmatical access with a more granular price control. Of course then is up to you, anyway I find this to be a great way to do it.
