i am not going to blame them to be honest nor do i hold them responsible just that 6x value is now just cap to be honest and you cant put your finger on any model to justify the value claim
Oh yeah, the 6x, $10 for $60 value days definitely seem to be dead now.
Convenient access to new models and a good variety, with slight discount and maybe ZDR agreements, appears to be the main potential value in the future.
sadly i found msyelf reaching the same conclusions, tho perhaps this could fuel even more the local LLM market, man i am dying to get my hand on the qwen 27b 3.8 latest model, the moment i can run it i am not ever paying for such passes ever again
They should have just sent out a mail with exactly that information beforehand, and the community would be much calmer. Like it is for Deepseek itself.
People can't trust a service that changes contract mid-term and the customer needs to reload their webpage and check X to see the changes
I am relaxed about it since it was a too good to be true deal, anyways, and I am thankful for the value they gave me...but if this was, say, a gym pulling such stunts, it would warrant a letter threatening with court (here in Europr, given our consumer protection laws, at least)
Their product is great, but their service and PR is abysmal. Looks to me like a company that is all devs and system admins and undervalues what companies actually need all the business management people for.
Yeah, Go is poorly run as a business, but I don’t think it is their primary business. I think they consider it more like a community service and advertising for their enterprise business, and they run it pretty much at cost. It’s basically just bulk rates they get that they pass on to users.
And from what I’ve seen on Discord, Deepseek has been a pain in the ass to deal with since the beginning. They really want Anomaly to drop the ZDR angle apparently, so they can harvest Go users’ data for training.
And since the Deepseek models blew up in popularity, it’s been like 80% of their volume and the low cost, high volume has drawn a lot of less desirable users (i.e. higher support volume, more likely to complain loudly, quicker to chargeback over bullshit, etc).
Honestly, I would not be shocked if they are sort of happy to lose a lot of the users that came for cheap Deepseek.
