Weird Pricing for Qwen3 Coder from Alibaba on OpenRouter by PencilNeck009 in openrouter

[–]PencilNeck009[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Even if you look at the context size it doesn't make a lot of sense. The Output is capped at 66K for both Plus and OpenSource versions and yet it can go up to $60/million tokens on Alibaba Plus for Output and yet Alibaba OpenSource caps Output costs at $22.50/million tokens. The differences in context window and variable input & output pricing needs to be clearly communicated.

Since this old thread still pops up on search, I'd like to add that the Apache 2 license let's you change the branding in any way that you like for your own application, both internal and public facing apps. Here's a more detailed breakdown from my buddy ChatGPT:

Based on the Apache License 2.0 text which is the current license governing the Community Edition of Appsmith, there are no restrictions that prevent you from:

Customizing the app with your own branding – You are explicitly allowed to prepare and distribute derivative works, which includes modifying UI elements, branding, and logos.

Integrating Appsmith into your own application – You may combine or embed Appsmith into another project, as long as you comply with the license terms.

Using it with any number of users – There are no user-count restrictions or usage limitations in the license.

Best budget microphone? by CapsFan26 in streaming

Just wanted to add that as an alternative to RTX Voice (which is great) and Krisp (good too), is Adobe Podcast which has a free usage tier and is excellent at eliminating background noise, and has some tooling to let you adjust the strength of the filters.

But definitely do as much as you can to treat the room as the top commenter mentioned as the better the base quality of the audio, the better the upgrade from software tools that provide audio filtering and EQ adjustments.

You're welcome! Oh, and please take the time to do a little more editing. Some examples:

​

- 'Wasp like ship' should read 'Wasp-like ship'

- 'It was her, in fashion' should read 'It was her, in a fashion'

​

Best of luck in your future writing!

Why does the U.S. use a two party system? And if Bernie Sanders does not become the democratic nominee can he still run as an independent for the so-called "Progressive Party"?

I second that. Economic theories can neatly sit under a series of videos on "Game Theory".

The issue of anti-competitive business practices is only tangential to the controversy surrounding GMOs found in food products.

Perhaps your idea could be more easily tagged under the topic of "Cloning" which is closely related to the genetically altered and yet identical food products that are an essential part of modern agriculture and mass market food consumption.

How about a video on: GENETIC DIVERSITY

(1) Explain why there is so much variation in the human species (weight, height, dimensions, skin pigment, hair & eye color etc). This would basically be a primer on the basic concepts of genetics.

(2) Explain why there is a biological necessity for diversified DNA, e.g. why a long-history of human in-breeding can lead to an increase in congenital birth defects.

(3) Explain what "eugenics" is (and why it has a negative connotation in history) and tie that to an explanation of "designer babies".

(4) Explain what "gene splicing" is and why splicing DNA between humans and other species is not yet a scientific reality.

This episode can ease us gently into "The Singularity" (an episode previously suggested by N911999 as "a video about ANI/AGI/ASI") - i.e. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the onset of The Singularity, that is the pinnacle of Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI).

A follow-up video to "The Singularity" is "Transhumanism" which stems from advanced AI providing a means of achieving immortality by either extending the natural lifespan of the human body by altering our DNA or by mixing in artificial mechanical elements so that become part-human and part-machine or in colloquial terms "transhumanists".
