yetone defends free AI app built on top-tier model subscriptions amid newapi spat
lxfater · x · 2026-10-12
- Developer yetone fired back at critics: to keep his software high quality, he personally pays for "the best, most expensive, hardest-to-subscribe" models, running 24/7 to serve real user needs — while the software itself is completely free.
- He rejected the "fast-food service" jab and called out the critic for displaying newapi's official logo, saying it damaged his view of newapi.
- lxfater's quote-tweet noting many devs dream of yetone's workflow drew wide attention in the AI dev community.
