Interesting to see the "try for free" tier using gpt3.5t, and the paid tier using gpt4t. "Here you can try something very much like our product, but our product is actually better" is not the most orthodox marketing meth

think about video compression for a "zoom" call. You could just send a lot of bitmap files. Or, you could save bandwidth and zip them before send. Or you could integrate some image-specific compression into the file format, as in
