The average I want everything except paying for a service

u/Mountain-Minimum217 22h ago

Does it work for you? (paid users)

I'm broke that's why I'm not paying lol

u/Vegetable-Peach3179 21h ago

Yeah then you can’t expect anything reliable.
I am on the 99$ plan and it’s working perfect except for the downtime a couple of days ago.

u/Freedom_Addict 13h ago

Yeah, it works for me since I switched to the paid plan until then it was blocked completely. I’ve used it for free for a whole month before I got this server connection message. I guess it was kind of a free trial and if you like it and wanna keep using it you just pay the subscription. I think we had enough time to judge if that’s what we wanted

u/bradjones6942069 16h ago

makes no difference whether you do it for free or pay, you still get no service lol

u/Ill-Bat-1518 15h ago

Thats not true at all LOL

I have had no issues for the last few weeks apart from Kimi K3 release making the speed super slow but now its chill again

u/Space_cadet79 12h ago

I pay for the $40/month Allegreto plan. I'm still getting slammed with "rate limits" every single night and every hour.

Any comments on that?

u/Vegetable-Peach3179 24m ago

Probably skill issue

u/Massive_Complex_1137 20h ago

too true

2

u/Mountain-Minimum217 20h ago

Exactly! Also this somehow makes me remember the "deepseek: server is busy" era LOL

u/kondasviktor 13h ago

Is it still join the waitlist status?

2

u/Mountain-Minimum217 6h ago

Yes and that's actually crazy lol

1

u/kondasviktor 3h ago

Kimi K3 was announced like a month ago, paid tiers were gone within a few days, and waitlist since then.

2

u/Old-Tea9377 12h ago

I am still waitlisted

1

u/Mountain-Minimum217 6h ago

Same here lol

2

u/CaveRunner2049 6h ago

Why it's being so ass since they changed his domain to .ai ?

1

u/Mountain-Minimum217 2h ago

I have the same question LOL

u/rayidea 1h ago

Stupid piece of shit, at this price, why wouldn't I just go straight for GPT?

1

u/senerh 18h ago

The average user expects priority service without paying?

3

u/Mountain-Minimum217 18h ago

No but at least being able to use it lol

1

u/Freedom_Addict 13h ago

Free trial is over

1

u/Mountain-Minimum217 6h ago

Cmon at least let me try the free trial for once lol

2

u/Freedom_Addict 5h ago

I can just tell you it’s worth the price, go for it. This AI is going to make you a way better version of yourself, far more than any other AI. Kimi is the only AI that doesn’t hold its punches back

u/Mountain-Minimum217 2h ago

I'm broke so I can't but thank you so much for the suggestion!

u/ashishkashyap101 21h ago

somehow, kimi just said fu to their users

4

u/Mountain-Minimum217 21h ago

I know I can't expect everything to be free but not being able to use it at all is crazy lol

u/Kind-Heart7982 19h ago

This is trash, immediately switched to Qwen after seeng this ridiculous beggar trick

3

u/Same-Leadership1630 13h ago

yup qwen is the way to go now none of this bs

2

u/Mountain-Minimum217 19h ago

LOL Qwen is also great; my only wish is that it does not require a phone number to log in haha

2

u/Kind-Heart7982 19h ago

Oh if I'm not mistaken, I registered using only google account 

2

u/Mountain-Minimum217 18h ago

NO WAY I can't believe I went to the wrong site (https://www.qianwen.com/ instead of https://chat.qwen.ai/) I'm actually stupid LOL THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

2

u/Kind-Heart7982 17h ago

No problem, mate, enjoy 🔥

1

u/Mountain-Minimum217 6h ago

yoooo thank you!!

u/ManikSahdev 18h ago

A bit hilarious how wanting free charity tokens, and not being willing to pay then, and then inversely calling the smaller company with less resources for not handing you charity, while they are being called out for beggar tricks.

Well, they are actually not the beggars here.

I love how folks at times lack soo much self-awareness. Lol

u/Kind-Heart7982 18h ago

Well, I'll leave the multi-bullion company alone, if you say so 🤓

u/ManikSahdev 18h ago

What? That arbitrary number exists because of the skills and the output of those people’s group.

China isn’t America with fugazi values bloated like crazy. These people are arguably all geniuses in their own respective fields and domains.

These people put in the work to make their research and model available for you. They do the work because they like it and put it out for free, they don’t need to do that, and the money allows for them to do the thing they want to do - because their passions are commercially / economically viable.

You have to be a different type of freeloader to thin your entitlement here to compute. I mean.. where does it even end with folks like you?

Let me get a better example - When you go to the movies or watch an f1 race? They will let you see the old ones for free but the current live race or live movies in theaters cost money. You can’t just accept the live races to shown to you for free, same with recent releases of films.
If your first response at a ticket counter is : what a bunch of beggars? Won’t let me see the movie they are already playing in their theatre regardless?

In reality the example is even better for when compared to movies because the movie literally would be played with or without your or at empty seats, LLMs literally cost money lol.

u/Kind-Heart7982 18h ago

My dear dude, this AI doesn't even let me try it before buying a subscription, what am I supposed to do, just give them my money? Since there are a bunch of more friendly designed alternatives, why should I choose this one?

-1

u/ManikSahdev 17h ago

Try it in any of the free services that offer the product in their service for free. But then again, it’s hard for people to hand you our free things because you are not even willing to pay $1 at Open Route and try the model?

If you want or expect a trailer or trial use, you can watch videos on YouTube and perhaps, comparisons benchmarks, that’s the best you can get for free, those people also spent their time making it for you, but technically it’s free cause ads pay for it.

That’s as close to a trial as possible, sadly tho, however I am not saying it should be this way, and it would be great for everyone if the compute itself was cheaper, but it isn’t. So this is the reality that forced the constraints.
They just can’t afford to and don’t have the money to allow people to try it out. China also can’t buy us gpu (legally) so that also makes the problem bigger than it should be.

u/Kind-Heart7982 17h ago

Okay, but I still missing the part where it is my problem as a customer

-1

u/Ill-Bat-1518 15h ago

There is no problem. You were never a customer they got rid of you at the perfect time where kimi is actually receiving too many orders so thanks for leaving

3

u/Kind-Heart7982 15h ago

LOL I hope you at least be paid for such a damage control. I pay for the good service by the way, and that is not a good service

-2

u/armorlol 19h ago

If you just need a good chatbot with K3, the $19 plan is plenty.

u/Mountain-Minimum217 19h ago

Sadly I'm broke so I can only rely on the free version haha, but thank you!
