I’m not paying $70/mo to try this but there’s a price that I would that’s above free, maybe $5/mo and I’ll bring my claude/oai API key

If you had a one time “local” setup fee with deepseek/llama or whatever instead of the services, I’d probably pay more than $70

Appreciate the honest feedback! Almost all of the $69 goes to cloud infrastructure costs (the instance runs 24/7 with GPU access). I hear you on wanting a lower entry point.

Two things I'm considering: - Local version (bring your own hardware) - would eliminate the cloud cost - Cheaper tier with limited hours

For now, the value prop is "one-click cloud solution" but I'll definitely explore local deployment soon. Thanks for the input!

Why would you need a GPU for an AI managed instance? I guess it would useful for some workloads, but arguably not for most really.

Yeah the local part makes it worth it imo and lowers your cost
