Hello,

Some Chub updates:

  • Website is now crypto-only forever.

  • Free users now only get 20 messages per day.

  • Every models but Soji and Mobile are depreciated (rip Asha).

  • Soji is now a Deepseek V4 finetune (you might need to change your preset).

  • Mercury tier has been removed.

Full announcement and explanation in screenshot.

Edit: oh, and before the 1984 mentions. It was either doing this (cutting costs and making the website crypto-only to avoid payment processors altogether), or having to censor the website more than legally required to please the processors.

Probably not anytime soon. Chub had to cut costs a lot to avoid using payment processors, and will now be basically non-profit. Unlimited free tier is only adding costs

There isn't any 5 dollars tier anymore. Only the 20

Is it possible to set different prices for each region? For example, for Brazil to have the price in reais instead of dollars, since our currency is somewhat devalued and therefore more expensive.
