Developer Julian Harris criticizes DeepInfra for raising input token prices by 33% with only 2 days notice. Even if it's the cheapest option, such a hike could bankrupt businesses that can't switch quickly — and swapping models is far from trivial, requiring careful evaluation, confusion-matrixing, back-testing, plus data residency/ZDR, latency, limits and third-party sharing considerations. His takeaway: the AI space is messed up.
