We want to make AI accessible for everyone, so we're reducing our API prices by ~50%. Consumer AI growth is still blocked by model costs. 97% of consumer AI users will never pay. But every session still consumes tokens. This is the math we've found every consumer AI developer is stuck with. The model pricing they're forced to use, was built for $300/mo enterprise seats, not $10/month consumer subscriptions. So we're taking a step to solve this with reduced pricing across TTS, STT and LLMs. Teams like Wishroll, Biblechat, Talkpal, and Luvu are already seeing 40-95% reductions in their AI costs. Full breakdown on our blog: tinyurl.com/InworldBlog Pricing details in bio link.

Started the morning at the @NYSE opening bell 🔔(sans my volcom cap 🧢), chatting through the next phase of enterprise stablecoin expansion, including: our Argentina 🇦🇷 launch of stablecoin corporate cards for enterprises (and how it serves as a blueprint for multiple country launches a year!) 💪 the vote on the CLARITY Act today 👀 and how it impacts the future of stablecoin adoption. how enterprise stablecoin infrastructure is very different from consumer ✅ why @jeeves_inc 🦁 is uniquely positioned to win in the global south with our combination of fiat & stablecoin enterprise grade rails. Thanks for the invite and hope to be back on the NYSE soon but next time with a bell included 😉 Let’s go! 🚀

.@augustus_bank CEO @FerdiDabitz discusses banking in the AI era: cnb.cx/4d7pqaN

This could be Sinead’s best essay yet, an argument that Ireland’s asylum policy is not compassionate but cynical and cruel “And when those communities said so; when the people who had been failed by the state for decades pointed at the hotel and said “this isn’t working”, they were called racist. By politicians with private healthcare, by commentators who owned their homes, and by an establishment class that had likely experienced precisely zero competition for any public resource in their entire lives.” She finishes with a warning that the effects now visible in working class communities will move upward toward middle class communities. And it’s the middle class that cause revolutions. Free to read., link below.

.@FerdiDabitz: "The dollar is the best product in the history of the world. Insane PMF. There's quasi-infinite global demand for it, especially outside of the United States." "There are all kinds of quantitative ways to think about this. Europe and the US contribute 40% of global GDP, but they contribute 80% of global reserve holdings and money movement." "There are also qualitative ways to think about it. The existence and frankly commercial success of the stablecoin stack is a pure expression of this thesis."

Long Live Augustus! 💪 Letsgooo @FerdiDabitz team @augustus_bank 🏦🚀

It could actually be a significant problem that Europe doesn't have enough garages. This sounds like a joke, but I'm serious. Garages let you work on stuff that doesn't matter yet, which is how big things often start. The outliers of ideas need the outliers of space.
