Augment (which gave the #curl project free access) is changing pricing (again) in what seems to be a 10x increase.

Augment pricing changes from ‚messages‘ (number of answer which you control) to ‚credit‘ (which is effort controlled by Augment).

And this is probably still not enough to cover their real costs, not even speaking of profit.

Wherever you stand on the LLM debate, don‘t become dependant on those companies. Their business model sucks.
