But using PPQdotAI (nprofile…etsy) is not like that, over the past year here are my two practical, real world reasons for running PPQ and the value I've got from it.
1. Stopped using Chat GPT.
Protects my privacy and saved me $20/month. For my general non private queries I moved from Chat GPT to the PPQ web interface. It gave me access to lots of models, including the latest releases of frontier models. Offers better value, you only pay for what you use. This can go both ways, but at least you know where you are and don't just suddenly run out of tokens or get downgraded to a slower model.
2. Stopped using Cursor
Same as above, I had a KYC account tied to a fiat payment method, so Anthropic and Cursor could know exactly who I am and what prompts I issue. So I found myself guarded and very careful about what I put in there. So I moved to Cline and connected to PPQ using my API key.
Using Cline is very similar to Cursor, but I had to give no personal information and my connection to the LLM is protected by a VPN and the anonymity of paying with Lightning on PPQ.
I still don't put personal information into Cline or PPQ, but can talk a bit more in my prompts in general terms.
I'm just a Bitcoiner with an interest in Open Source software and AI, and have found PPQ.ai to be one of the best tools in the space.
Give it a go for yourself.
quotingWe have a small margin on the API and a larger margin on the website UI. Most UI users don't spend more than $4 per month, which is way better than a subscription.
