How do you know the reseller is even giving you the genuine article? Could they be advertising Fable but repacking Deepseek?

The relays sound also like a nice source of monitoring for whoever controls them.

Nice research and structuring into 4-tier layer. For providers like Anthropic and OpenAI, subscription is the entry point for all these, right? Besides the measures proposed in the article, can token usage % determine these clusters of accounts?

This article is about the mechanics, but the title implies this is unethical. Why is this practice considered unethical?

Aren't these figures the wrong way around

"$0.13 of usage per $1 spent"

So I spend a dollar and I get 13 cents worth of usage?

I guess it means the otherway around but I'm not seeing how that phrasing works. Are they paying a premium to access US models?

thats one of the reasons why we vest any of our new customers. We need to know you before you are allowed to use our agent system. When you have an open sign up with some free credits, all hell breaks loose.

I use both of subscription and API services. on last month, i chat with CLI and let it to do something. After that, maybe in one days pass, i received the $32 USD bill. it cause my left my API key and CLI call the API to do job not through subscription.

wow. Ai providers can't solve fraud 101 with their oh-so-dangerous-if-released-models?

i think this alone is the biggest bear signal

what tokens are these being sold?

Token is the new cryptocurrency.
