These services need to increase adoption to survive, but most users can't see what the cutting edge models are capable without paying upfronttraditionally this problem is resolved by trial periods or upfront free credits. There's a huge problem with this. There's a legion of millions of thirdworlders, mostly Indians, abusing free trials and credits bleeding these services dry of compute.I have a behind the scenes view of how bad this problem is. I know that it's costing one smaller company tens of millions of dollars, and I can extrapolate from that, that it's costing the industry billions. It's a huge problem and these companies don't know what to do. For every legitimate user free access brings in, there's ten users abusing it. Some companies are beginning to close out trial periods but their new users are falling off a cliff. They're fucked either way.

I use daily free computrons on huggingface but it's not worth the hassle of getting a paid account for a mere 8x increase of computrons.It's not worth the hassle of getting any paid service on the Internets until the yanks kill off Visa and Paypal.

Inference is cheap, training is expensive.And you're wrong, the main income of those retards isn't revenue but private financing, credit and goverment money.
