For me, it's not even cost necessarily. If they decide to change the product they offer, the old one is gone. I refuse to use anything for personal use that's not at least _available_ as model weights.
Bingo. This same scenario with IOT hardware/software requirements and the ever changing software updates where features get added/removed (and firmware), etc would have so many here up in arms!

You could judge the costs of the AI products you're using by the standard API pricing, not promotional subscription offers.

Oddly, less (vocal) arms on this specific case.
Not even that way, given that the price is still highly subsidized by investors and circular deals.
