Sorry, how is this new pricing anything but honest? They provide an editor you can use to - optimize the context you send to the LLM services - interact with the output that comes out of them

Why does not justify charging a fraction of your spend on the LLM platform? This is pretty much how every service business operates.

There's now greater incentive for Zed to stuff more content in the prompts to inflate tokens used and thus profit more. Or at least be less zealous.

This is not a new concern. And is not unique to Zed.
