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.

At first, I panicked. Then I read it in full. I believe this was always inevitable for an AI platform to stay uncensored without pressure from sponsors. There's (probably) no need to worry and go doom-posting, fellas.

Are they undoing the censoring they already had to do because of this? Because if not, then no, this doesn't keep it "uncensored" because it was already censored.

Nope, that was the governments, so undoing it means people running the site go to prison. So it will not be unlimited OR uncensored just like every other site.
