I think it has been free in some editor plugins, which is probably a significant factor.

I would rather use a model that is good than a model that is free, but different people have different priorities.

I mean, I can kinda roll through a lot of iterations with this model without worrying about any AI limits.

Y'know with all these latest models, the lines are kinda blurry actually. The definition of "good" is being foggy.

So it might as well be free as the definition of money is clear as crystal.

I also used it for some time to test on something really really niche like building telegram bot in cloudflare workers and grok-4-fast was kinda decent on that for the most part actually. So that's nice.

Non free has double usage than free. Free one uses your data for training.
