So are they stealing from their employers or is something else going on?

Stolen credit cards Demo accounts Free trials Unlimited chat relays (eg chatgpt chat) Leaked company credentials Etc

Yunwu.ai was a nice way to get ultra-cheap tokens that someone will probably spy on you with, but they no longer offer US models. At first I thought it was so people could steal the traces, but now I wonder if this isn't just laundering startup credits for dollars.

There are like thousands sites with similar features all using newapi core.

You can easily find them in Chinese tech forum linux.do
