The author observes a chaotic market: hundreds of model wrappers run their own credits-per-dollar packages over the same underlying APIs, many on badly broken backends.
Some are so broken that they offer Seedance 2.5 at $0.02/second — 10x cheaper than standard pricing. The author quips it's a true gold rush, with shovels sold everywhere.
