Mycli ( https://github.com/dbcli/mycli ) is a happy recipient of sponsorship from this program. OpenAI asked for nothing in return; not even a link.

Are you saying they aren't getting training data from you?

I'm sure they are getting training data! But it is hands-off otherwise.

Seems rather stingy - 6 months is barely longer than you will get on a free signup deal for a lot of online products anyway. Kind of worse than nothing if it causes you to adopt work patterns that aren't sustainable for the project after the offer ends.

Which online product gives away 6 months of a $100 per month subscription?

That's what I was thinking, but the downvoters are hunting today.

Every 2nd SaaS with a startup plan? I used intercom/customer.io/segment/amplitude/mixpanel for free for a year.

Trying to get https://opub.dev off the ground to solve this in a more open way.

If you have more than 100 stars, you can get $50 in starter credit.

Ideally organizations, more so than people, provide the bulk of future donations.

As for this program, ehh... Sceptical in general of any frontier program that ends at some time.

Once you're embedded, and all that...

theprimagen called this[1] like three days ago. That was fast. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-bT5v5Tm7w&t=164s

No, he didn't? He predicted that third parties would donate tokens to FOSS projects, not that the labs would. One is PR that started ages ago, the other is a reasonable prediction of where the world is going.

Not quite donate tokens directly (technically and practically weird), but donation -> compute has been out for a couple months on opub.dev (disclaimer, built it). So his prediction was somewhat correct if not late!
