I don't think about controlling cost because I price my time at US$40/h and virtually all models are cheaper than that (with the exception of o1 or Gemini 2.5 pro). If I spend $2 instead of $0.50 on a session but I had to spend 6

If you try openrouter you'll see why they have to charge $25/month for the best models. Pay per use and you'll intuitively feel the price.

Maybe don't use an open-source licence if you don't want people to freely use your project's source code?? Especially a permissive one that doesn't require copyleft.

What are some actual examples of founders lying to their investors and getting away with it? I consistently see tech companies openly admit to losing insane amounts of money. OpenAI lost $5 billion last year on $3.7 billion in revenue and t
