In case you missed it, this is an excellent podcast on the current AI space and its trajectory:
PayPerQ

A polished and functional GPT5, Claude4, Gemini (and more) AI interface and API that runs on a pay-per-query model via Lightning payments.
Lots of buzz on this one:


PPQ.AI hit 1 million total queries yesterday. We now have hundreds of daily active users, and we're slowly but surely grinding upwards more each month.
Still, we are very small compared to other AI platforms out there. Soon we will be sharing our attempt at gaining massive growth. Our plan involves you, our community of builders, as a central component.
Stay tuned and thank you for the support thus far!
You can now star your favourite conversations!
We've added Auto Model as an option in the chat models dropdown!
Auto Model runs a "meta model" on your input text and chooses from ~20 different models to determine the best model for your input.
Takes the guesswork out of choosing models and can save you money too!


BIG UPDATE: We have substantially reduced the price on our API. We are now 5% cheaper than openrouter on nearly all chat models! And if you use lightning for you deposit, it will be 10% cheaper!
We've also made the API much snappier and less error prone lately.
Please help us and lightning in general grow by plugging into our API!
Many more things cooking!
You can now use audio playback for all of your PPQ chats! Even better, we trained a model on @Guy Swann's voice for maximum lols!
And every time a user clicks the "Speak" button, a "royalty payment" is sent to Guy over lightning in realtime!


I am in Lugano at PlanB today if anyone would like to meet and chat. :)

We’ve added a new AI-powered dictation button to PPQ’s interface. It’s not the old kind of dictation—it’s highly accurate, automatically removes filler words and stutters, and transcribes voice into polished text quickly.
Voice is the AI interface of the future.


Is anyone successfully and consistently using a ppq api key with some sort of code completion tool or extension?
If so, what is the name of it and explain your use case and workflow a bit.
New conversation export options in our UI:


It appears that a major outage on AWS is impacting our service currently. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Zaps are the new money laundering.
If you're vibe debugging and getting stuck, it's often a good idea to switch the model being used. Often times the new model will figure it out where the previous one failed.
