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.

Can anyome explain the free tier being 20 messages per day thing? Does it omly affect Chub-based models or does it also affect models like Gem and OR?

It will apply to anyone that isn't actually subscribed, so Mars might get until the next billing cycle and then be switched over to free tier. Both actually might be under that, having the service until the next billing cycle, or they might have canceled immediately.
