I wanna use maple, but paying for a year upfront in a market where I have no idea where AI is in 3 months is a big ask.
Why not accept monthly payments,
@7dc38be7…4f44066d ? Most paying AI users are probably paying 20 bucks a month for whatever model they're using.
Accepting monthly payments at Maple would remove a big entry barrier for that entire segment.
Right now, you're asking me to let go of better models AND pay a much higher amount upfront.
You can easily fix one of those problems and have my tradeoff be *slightly worse models for better privacy".
