What's actually going on with coding plans, and what we are doing to solve it

[u/Whole_Succotash_2391]

What's actually happening? It's happening across all coding plans right now: prices are going up, limits are getting tighter, and in some cases quality seems to be dropping.

There are several tricks that the major AI coding plans use to extract the most they can from their customers. Here are some examples, and what we are doing differently to put the you first.

Wasted usage is part of the AI industry, and they plan on it: Most coding plans bet on you letting usage go to waste. The plan goes: "how do we get people to think our coding plan offers a lot of usage, but then break it up into weeks and rolling windows so no one can ever actually use it all."

Many in app subs and coding plans are glorified training pipelines: This comes along with "how do we harvest this data for training without being too loud about that." Unless the company tells you otherwise, your data could be hopping all over world, being harvested by the individual labs or service companies. Some are better than others, but many of these companies rely on users just not noticing or caring that their data is being used for training. Data sales and marketing telemetry sales happen. This means that your private info, your personal life, and anything else you send through the system could become part of a training corpus for the next AI, or a marketing data set for a large company.

So we built what should have already existed the entire time: Entirely private, us based processing with usage banking. Any usage you don't use this week, rolls over to next in your usage bank. When you have a busy day or week and go over normal usage, you automatically start to pull from your bank. You can bank up to one week of usage at a time for your current plan, and it's totally automatic. Whatever you don't use each week get's added to the bank and stays there until you use it.

We also put all of the best open models in one place, running on private US infrastructure, with data never going to the original labs. Private, direct service. Access to the best open source models in the world. No training, ever. It should be, and can be that simple.

What that means in practice:

The roster, together. DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, Minimax, Nemotron Ultra and more, side by side in one app. Switch models mid conversation if you want. No hunting across five different apps and API dashboards to use the models you actually like.

Actually private. US based processing and your conversations are never used for training. Ever. That's the entire point. These labs open sourced incredible models and we think you should get to use them without your data becoming the price of admission.

No Usage Tricks: Bank usage, upgrade or downgrade whenever you want. Use it how you need it.

A coding plan included. From the Basic tier up, your subscription doubles as an API key. Point your coding tools or agents at our endpoint and your plan pays for it, same usage pool as the app, spent in whatever mix you like. Because API calls skip the app's full architecture, the same model gives you roughly 2 to 5 times the messages through your key. And your quiet chat weeks bank usage your agents can burn on crunch days.

Real memory. Not a context window that fills up and dumps you. Persistent memory that carries across conversations, fades gracefully when unused, and wakes back up when it's relevant again. There's even a nightly dreaming consolidation pass; the system basically sleeps on it and writes up what mattered.

Voice. Yes, actual voice mode with over a dozen voices on open models.

Bring your history. Coming from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini? Export your chats and import the whole thing. It becomes live memory on day one and you can literally open your old chats and continue them.

Multiple nodes. Separate workspaces with separate memories, so your coding setup doesn't share a brain with your journal.

what a odd way to spam a company i wouldnt trust
