“contributor” pricing at $0.10/$0.20 is crazy cheap if it’s measuring up to Sol. Definitely shows how important a user data flywheel is for RL and model improvement.

100% agreed. Small, cheap, and hosted models. Luna (and open weight models and others) is ridiculously cheap @ $0.2/$1.2, easily accessible, and more than good enough for basic use cases (e.g. summarization, simple tool calling, etc.).

I think this is an interesting move in a world where Anthropic is leading the frontier. But I don't think we're in that world, at least anymore. The current vibe feels like OpenAI and Codex are leading the race. So this instead be
