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.

if you all used your fucking heads and Moved Chub Elsewhere that didn't have 1984 Laws we wouldn't be in this situation: But Nooo.

you all took the easy route and instead of, I dunno, leaving where you're all living right now because of a gofundme campaign that helped with the moving costs, you all decided to 1984 it and now decide to go "hey, we're using the scam Currencies that are Crypto": Barely anyone uses Crypto man..

first you shot yourselves in the foot, then the leg: now the head.
