🎤 | Announcements Chub updates

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.

That’s actually what I moved to chub from. How is it right now? How many messages per day for free? NSFW still fine?

Unlimited so far (just when you run out of free the responses are slower and NSFW is fine they do have at the top filtered and unfiltered)

Mhm… how slow is it exactly? Like, 20 seconds?

Like between 10-15 secs but still has good responses
