He’s just making a point that $100/mo subscription is cheaper than the API costs and that the same work would cost 10x as much on API pricing. It’s not some sort of swindle it’s a trade between consistent revenue that power users will overspend on but plenty of people will underspend (I’m on the underspend side) or pay-per-request service that makes more sense for say scaling out something custom (I run APIs a lot when I have say some pseudo labeling pipeline I want to scale to a lot of data. For this I typically use smaller models but lots of cases where you want larger models). What’s the wrong message here?
