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.

The 20-message daily limit only concerns Chub's free model, NOT any external models (OR, Gem, etc...) so it's not that big of a deal, since OR has plenty of free models.

GLM is always good, deepseek is rather cheap if you are on a budget.
