Thanks for the new model Spiced Q3 A3 & access to Stheno on free-tier
Free user here and I appreciate the unexpected increase of free models. Besides the selfish benefit I'm getting from no longer being forced to switch to a client or frontend in order to use free API keys that are approximately in that range of quality, I think you also made a good move in order to advertise the platform.
I believe that by having free access also to language models that are medium-quality instead of just being exposed to the overwhelming clichés of the oldest ones (I'm thinking especially of the older version of the default model, that you had already somewhat improved recently, which I'm grateful for) you are giving first-time users a better image of the service, which can induce those who can afford it to want to invest in higher tiers.
My older satirical posts about the most persistent clichés of SpicyChat were made in a period where I was honestly about to ragequit using it, but then I saw that you had started improving on the default model so I stayed and - even if I'm too broke to pay consistently for AI - I tried to give my contribution by making more bots. And with the new free model(s) I think you're striking even more of a balance. Thanks and bravo.
