It's how they can lock more users into their eco-system.

I received an email mentioning that earlier cohorts are canceled.

Apparently, the earlier pricing was better for us as customers because I had the option to opt for a lower price, i.e $10 per month with a one month commitment and see how the platform evolves and then sign up for other models post testing as needed.

I am not sure how long this new cohort will take to fill now. A slightly better option (looking back) would have been to take multiple options from the customer list and start with the one that meets the threshold.

First, thanks for signing up early. It means a lot.

The $10/mo price needed 465 people to fill a cohort before we could turn on a single GPU. People signed up and churned while waiting, so we looked at the reservation pattern and determined 80 slots was optimal. This reflects in the new price and throughput.

We're considering a 1-week option so people can test it out before committing to a full month. Would that help?

You won't feel much difference in performance for the next 4 years but my guess is local LLM inference going to be much better post 3-4 generation.

@fasteddie31003 and @ghoshbinayak, Can you share the designs that you created?

Congrats on the launch, great work!

I played around on a sample video and it worked great. I wanted to undo one AI edit but couldn't find if there is undo button.

Thanks so much, glad it worked well!

There is an undo button — it's on the bottom right of each user message in the chat. That said, sounds like it wasn't obvious enough, so I'll rethink the UX there for sure!

What kind of work do you do?

The pricing is good for customer.

At the same time, I think you shouldn't give away "Lifetime updates" for same pricing tier. Are you planning to support it for the next 10+ years and across next 5-10 mac hardware/version without any new license cost?

Honestly not trying to make serious money from this - more validating if people want local-first tools. If it takes off, might add a support tier, but ultimate goal isn't profit. Just wanted something that works without monthly charges.

I am using Raindrop and it seems to work for me.
