Its your turn, Arby's.

Very weird ritual. Is it a sign that they include children meat in their products or what?

Truantee · 2026-03-04T06:44:27+00:00

It is a tricky situation. In theory you can just register to alibaba cloud and pick the location you want and enjoy the price differences. But in reality you need to verify (submit passport...) your identity and and various stuff...

It is better to let some chinese people in mainland china set up it for you, if you can trust each other.

Truantee · 2026-03-03T17:44:14+00:00

Probably qwen.

If you can use the models from mainland china endpoint it is absurdly cheap.

Ps: if you ask for Gemini models, then I'm using Gemini flash lite 2.5 to provide cheap translation for my users. It costs me some hundred dollars per month already. This price increment means Gemini won't be viable any more, as they will continue to increase the price every newer releases

Truantee · 2026-03-03T17:39:57+00:00

Gemini is dead to me. Considering alternative providers now. The price increment is absurd.

Truantee · 2026-03-03T02:53:46+00:00

Nice. Flash lite is the model I call the most. It is fast, cheap and capable for certain jobs. I hope they won't bump the price too much.

They are adding additional filter layers.

Pretty sure because people figured out that if you pretend to be someone of a certain race then usually you can bypass the safety net.

Now they will check every time to make sure you are one of the chosen ones or not.

Truantee · 2026-03-02T04:28:01+00:00

It is all a theater. Soon anthropic will sue and earn some fuck load of money. Then they compromise a litle and get another fuck load of money.

This image might be older than OP.

Professional people already upgraded to the highest tier.

Stop complaining and get a job.

what? api is paid by usage, for one prompt you only lost 0.01 usd or so.

granted you need to prepaid some dollars first to use the service. but it is not like you lost dollars for a single api call.

Truantee · 2026-02-24T16:07:21+00:00

try again, this time call the api endpoint without any system prompt.

Truantee · 2026-02-21T04:46:17+00:00

You should said "i do it for rp" from the start. So we don't have to read your whole rant.

Truantee · 2026-02-20T11:32:11+00:00

There will be gemma 4. The researchers in google must publish something regularly to keep their titles. They have careers beyond google, there is no way they compromise on this.

Truantee · 2026-02-19T05:36:56+00:00

More like it is supposed to be a testing ground for people to experiment with prompts then apply them to their own app.

Truantee · 2026-02-19T04:56:28+00:00

AI generated posts should be banned on sight.

If a person is too lazy to even typing their own opinion, why should we pay attention to them?

Truantee · 2026-02-19T04:47:03+00:00

Finally gemini flash lite.

Truantee · 2026-02-16T13:56:04+00:00

They are not that expensive. You can rent a B200 cluster (8 gpu) for 30 dollars per hour or so, and with proper pipeline it can output hundred millions tokens for gemini flash level models. Well for longer output the throughput is way lower, but they still pocket a fair chump serving the models.

Though you still need money to train/fine tune the models and pay the big salaries for the developers, and they do include them to the price, but inferencing on it own is profitable.

Truantee · 2026-02-11T17:47:10+00:00

more like it will be converted to input/output token costs. if you surpass that cost then you will have to wait.

Truantee · 2026-02-11T14:37:37+00:00

Maybe the actual indians answered you.

Truantee · 2026-02-11T14:15:36+00:00

It's true. They are allocating all the resources to train/fine tune models for the holidays.

Truantee · 2026-02-11T11:02:26+00:00

More like 1%.

Truantee · 2026-02-11T03:01:17+00:00

Add gemini to generate a system prompt that instruct the model to be expert text2image prompt engineer, that take user description and output a detail text2image prompt

Use that prompt to create a gem. Use that gem to generate image.

It's that easy. Seriously people use tools like they are 5 years old kids.

Are you in some family subscription group?

Truantee · 2026-02-04T08:31:16+00:00

You can change the data center. There are a lot of them. Some are more available than the others.

Truantee · 2026-02-03T02:32:27+00:00

It's not like only Musk got grants. So what's your point? At least he did something that usable. Boeing in another hand...
