I'm considering switching to DeepSeek since it's way cheaper. I'll swap once I'm done testing out the API. You can use your own hosted LLM but it's not worth it at this moment.
- bloomingkales 2y agoWoah, a few hundred just to demo the thing. How could you keep this afloat? That’s the tricky part about building LLM apps. I’d love to hear more from Indie devs because money is absolutely a bottle neck here. For fun: You don’t need an LLM for some of your calls I think. “Where is the Eiffel Tower”, Eiffel Tower is a NER that small NLP libraries can extract. Then it’s a simple long/lat lookup. You might be able to re-route 20% of your calls to a no-cost backend call.
- ata_aman 2y agonever had any thought on monetizing this at all so maybe offer pro features down the line? idk I'm used to just putting stuff out there for people to try out. Could be spent on worse things all things considered haha
