Are you also a victim of genuine Claude subscriptions? Make every effort to subscribe to Claude Pro for $20 per month, but also worry about account suspension. It is quite smooth to use, but I often encounter lengthy conversations that are enjoyable and I want to put something into practice, and immediately receive a cold reminder that 'the dosage is close to the limit'. Do you want to upgrade to a higher usage? That's billing by token, and the price takes off directly. In addition, AI products have a very special feature: when the experience deteriorates, it is difficult for me to know what exactly happened. Has the model been updated? Is the load too high? Has the routing strategy changed? Or did I have an illusion myself? Users usually can only make judgments based on their feelings, but there are almost no means of verification. I'm not saying that the platform will secretly downgrade the model. In fact, most top manufacturers attach great importance to brand reputation. But from a business logic perspective, there is a natural information asymmetry between users and platforms: the platform knows the actual operating situation, while users do not. The opacity itself is the issue that has always concerned me. Using a transfer station may be cheaper, but there are more hidden dangers. You don't know where the model comes from, the platform takes over the channels and resells it, adding how much price and using which supplier are all black boxes. Quality is also difficult to verify. What's even more troublesome is that the code, documentation, and private conversations you send to the model go through an unknown intermediary layer, and it's unknown whether they have been recorded or used to train other models. The most realistic risk is that small platforms run away, and the balance deposited may be lost at any time. I tried to experience @ dgrid_ai, and I found one thing it did quite interesting: it put the model output quality on chain validation, called PoQ - Proof of Quality. The same request will be routed to multiple providers. Comparing the output results, if any provider secretly downgrades, it will be detected and punished on the chain. It's not about 'trusting the platform', it's about the technical mechanism directly ensuring it. There is also a price difference. Claude Opus offers an official 15% discount for volume calls, a 30% discount for GPT series, and a 4.4% discount for annual members ($1580/year, with a monthly limit of $300). I roughly estimate based on my usage over the past year that I can save nearly half of the cost. Of course, it depends on each person's actual dosage, and using it infrequently may not be cost-effective. Also, it supports direct USDT recharge, saving the trouble of dealing with overseas credit cards. It also has a product called Arena, which gives you two models to choose which one is better, and points will be awarded after selecting. Simply put, they are helping the platform manually annotate data, which has commercial value. They used to reward participants directly with USDT, but later switched to a points system. Zero cost, easy to do. According to data released by DGrid, the cumulative revenue of Genesis membership program has exceeded $2 million, with over 13000 paying users. Funds are deposited into the multi signature treasury wallet of BNB Chain, which can be checked on the chain. This is what I think is the key point. A project that is truly profitable and has transparent accounts has much lower risks than a black box transit station.
