Looking into starting a service hosting some open-source models. I know the big companies still lose money on this even with scale, but I’m more interested in what regular users would actually pay and what they’d need to switch from their current provider. Please reply in this format if you can: Monthly price you’d consider switching for Preferred usage structure (rolling hourly budget, monthly cap, pure API, something else) Token/usage limits you’d want Models that matter most to you Anything else that would make you switch Personally I’d want something like: $30/month Rolling hourly token budget ~10 million tokens per hour DeepSeek V4 Flash (and other strong open-source options) Cost and allowances that are not liekly to change. I’m getting tired of the nerfing of tokens, increased costs and ability of models. What would it take for you to switch? submitted by /u/Resident-Pen-3757
