Especially the free tiers. Meta AI, too.

Weaker models and less powerful harnesses give people a very sub-par experience compared to what you get if you pay for access to the better tools and models.

Normal users aren't using harnesses in the sense developers think of them. They're interacting with models where they've been shoehorned in for no good reason, or they're using them nearly entirely through chat interfaces.
