    I think the fast inference options have historically been only marginally more expensive then their slow cousins. There's a whole set of research about optimal efficiency, speed, a…

    Do you guys all think you'll be able to convert open source models to diffusion models relatively cheaply ala the d1 // LLaDA series of papers? If so, that seems like an extremely …

    I am currently using their APIs on a paygo plan, I think it might just be a capacity issue for new sign ups.
