ca11mejp Youâre right - LLM processing isnât free, and we think about this a lot.
With Essential Space, there will always be a free tier. We see it as a core part of the phone, not something you âloseâ behind a paywall. Yet, probably, much like other LLM providers, we will have professional features added to a paid tier over time.
For Playground, our principle is to democratize creative power, not put a price tag on expression. Full-on monetization of creation itself doesnât feel like the right step forward. Where we might experiment is with optional premium tiers that unlock deeper personalization or pro workflows.
In general, the baseline experience - including Essential Space and Playground - will remain accessible. We will be thoughtful about this, and weâll give users choice, not lock-in.
