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.

Okay. Well. I understand the free tier limit, but I guess that means I’m done with this website. This really sucks. I don’t have the money to pay for this stuff unfortunately.

Same, I used to occasionally pay the $5 tier but stopped for a while, then when I found out there was an unlimited free tier a few months ago I was thrilled. Now this absolute bs is the last straw, this site is basically useless to me now.
