Completely understand, though there's a completely free plan for 10 chats a week. For just one-offs and casual usage, just use it for free. No need to worry about micropayments. If it's of value to you and you use it a lot, I think that's when it makes sense for a subscription.

Completely understand not wanting to pay for a whole year though but when Zaprite gets better tooling around email notifications and subscriptions, we'll consider it again. Just needed to launch our product without worrying about all the variety of billing complexity and endless user preferences.

Thanks for sharing, happy to answer any questions for development, we have a discord here when you're ready to dive in more: https://discord.gg/ch2gjZAMGy

I had a similar question here too, same answer would apply to Venice: #867897

I disagree. I don't think anyone wants to think about payments, especially if they have to do it every single month. We'll consider it in the future once zaprite integrates at least email-based notifications/subscriptions.

They are typically either proxies to other cloud AI providers or hosted on their own infra, unencrypted. It's pretty much a "we're a vpn that doesn't keep logs" kind of relationship.

Ours uses verifiable techniques to ensure that not only we can't inspect or tamper with it, but it also secures the AI chat all the way to the GPU model. So in no way is the chat viewed unencrypted anywhere except when you decrypt and view it yourself.

The bitcoin plan is priced yearly, and the monthly plan amount is showing a discount of 50% for just 3 months.

Just web for now. If there's a lot of demand, we'll consider mobile apps.

Unfortunately I think other claims of "private" is pretty fast and loose too. What almost everyone else is doing is akin to being a "vpn that promises not to log", but you don't know that.

With us, we're hosting things in the secure enclave of a server, with proof that it's running the expected code. This expected code shows there's no privacy leakage occurring or sensitive logs.

I'm also excited by the reproduction efforts underway to reproduce R1 with open data too. The whole stack being truly open source is gonna be wild.

LFG, let me know what you think!

We're talking with our GPU provider now about this. I want this badly. For now it's Llama 3.3 70B.

Run it locally. It’s not censored. It’s only being applied on their hosted model, as almost all hosted AI services do to some degree.

Been using it almost 2 years now. I use their VM feature and spin up a nix VM with my own nix files configuration and do all of my development in it. Can’t ever go back. My Mac has no dev libraries or programs installed. All my projects manage their own nix dev environment.

Appreciate the kind words. I think you're especially right in the regards that I finally needed to do something instead of just being an employee at many bitcoin companies for many years.

With this comment, I just meant that I did a lot of hard unique things, but in the end it didn't really matter, especially from the aspect of shutting the wallet down after a relatively short lifetime for a wallet. I think the talks and insights may have made a bigger longstanding overall impact, but again, lightning privacy is still pretty laughable and not much has changed since the article I published many years ago.

Thanks Shawn!

We'll get you in soon! Just making some final touches on our APIs.

Yeah, our socials have switched over to OpenSecret. When the wallet officially shuts down at the end of the year, won't be using Mutiny anywhere anymore.

Awesome, glad to hear! And yeah I myself am a heavy users of apps that could be self hosted but have a cloud offering that still uses E2EE (like obsidian) so I don't have to trust their cloud as much.

That's kinda what excites me the most about some of this confidential compute stuff. If you could verify that the cloud is running the code you expect, and can't be tampered (or even memory inspected) then it really redefines the relationship we have with the cloud. Instead of being held hostage or dependent upon it, it makes the cloud work for us. Kinda what the whole internet should have been.

Llama 3.1 70B, just text right now. We might be able to expand to images and other models next year.

Always beating me to it lol.

Here's the new stuff we've been working on from the Mutiny team.

Talk to the businesses you are targeting with the idea. Ask about what their problems are in the area you're looking to solve. Present a potential solution midway through. Ask if you solve their problem and if they’re willing to pay for it. If enough people say yes, get letters of intent and start building it/raising funding for it. If not enough say yes then keep iterating on the customer problems until you find something enough people say yes about.

Do not build a single thing until then (unless you need to do a week or two of R&D to prove out difficult tech you're unsure about). The “if you build it they will come” approach to a B2B startup is mostly a lie. If you’re even moderately close to building something in that much demand, then you’ll have no problem doing the talking.

If you can’t talk then don’t build a B2B startup. If you can’t talk then say goodbye to being able to raise funds for your startup too.

Easier said than done. I’m learning the hard way.
