I love this for Zed. I hate that I’m going to have deal with the model providers more directly. Because I don’t know what tokens are.

It’s like if McDonalds changed their pricing model to be some complex formula involving nutrition properties (calories, carbs, etc) plus some other things (carbon tax, local state taxes, whatever) and moved to a pay as you bite model. You start eating a Big Mac, but every bite has different content proportions, so every bite is changing in price as you go. Only through trial and error would you figure out how to eat. And the fact that the “complex formula” is prone to real time change at any point, makes it impossible to get excited about eating.
