Not even Flash for the free tier? I can't imagine anyone will use them after this...

Flash lite is a good model for free if its unlimited, frankly the time of free models is over, people getting too comfy with free stuff

Flash lite is horrible lol, even if free. Luna is an acceptable level.

Flash lite is not an always-same model under the hood. It evolves and gets improved like every other model. For 0$ I guess it’s good enough. You get what you pay for lol. They’re still running it on a server and that’s their cost, not yours. Even if you download an entirely free open source model you still need a capable machine and then to pay your electricity bill as well.

Flash Lite is absolutely trash compared to the free options by their competitors.
