    Yunwu.ai was a nice way to get ultra-cheap tokens that someone will probably spy on you with, but they no longer offer US models.

    At first I thought it was so people could steal the traces, but now I wonder if this isn't just laundering startup credits for dollars.

      There are like thousands sites with similar features all using newapi core.

      You can easily find them in Chinese tech forum linux.do

    So are they stealing from their employers or is something else going on?

        And I’m pretty sure that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

    Men breaching Sauron's ToS by reselling their nine rings of power, and they think they are beating the system.

    Cool to see my thesis validated.

      Is that still a thing? I’ve thought they’ve discontinued the deals section. (There are a lot of other ways to get a startup grant, of course.)
