Frontier AI is the most consequential technology of our lifetime, and access to it is being parcelled out by vendor. We do not accept that arrangement.
For most of computing's history, the people who could pay for the best tools built the future, and the people who could not waited. The web partially undid this. Open source partially undid this. We intend to finish the job.
A handful of laboratories now train the models that are quietly redrawing the economy. To use them well, you need a seat license, a billing relationship, a vendor key, and the patience to maintain all three. Multiply that by every lab whose model you want to compare, and the friction begins to look like a tax on participation.
What we believe
Access to a model is not the same as ownership of a relationship. The relationship belongs to whoever pays the bill. We are willing to be that party, on behalf of anyone who chooses to spend through us.
Credit, denominated in inference, is a more honest unit than dollars per month. It corresponds to the work the machine actually does. It does not expire on a calendar. It can be given to a friend without paperwork. We have built the simplest possible plumbing for moving it from one person to another.
A network of people who can spot each other a thousand tokens is more resilient than a network of people who all have to budget for their own subscription. Communities have always known this. Software, until now, has rarely respected it.
What we will not do
We will not gate the basics behind a paywall. We will not sell your prompts or your transfers. We will not ship features that exist primarily to lock you in. We will not pretend tokens are money, or that money is the only reason people share things.
We will not make the product feel important. We want the act of sending a hundred tokens to a friend to feel the way it should feel: small, fast, slightly fun, and entirely unremarkable.
What we are asking of you
Buy a few. Send a few. Spend a few. Tell someone who would not have signed up on their own. The premise of this company is that the network outperforms the vendor. The only way to test that premise is together.
If a model lab closes tomorrow, the work continues. If a billing system breaks tomorrow, the work continues. If we are wrong about everything else, we would still like to have built a piece of infrastructure that treats the people using it as adults, and treats their friendships as a first-class input.
Your community is your API key. The rest is implementation detail.
