SimplyAnnisa · x · 2026-09-17
GenAI platform Higgsfield launched a unified API aggregating 50+ frontier models at prices below subscriptions, with pay-per-use billing and up to 50% off your 3 favorite models if locked in within 7 days. It claims to be the only US provider offering Seedance 2.5 with face inputs. The company also open-sourced everything built over the last 18 months — "the code behind a $5.4B startup" — on GitHub, and its founder is personally offering $50k for whoever builds something people actually use, with a 7-day demo challenge.
