But if my phone's already doing the work why not sell a licence to the backend then offer the ring for free if people pay a year upfront? Sell it as a "privacy centred self hosted personal LLM" and justify the sub fee as paying for updates and security.
Fuck all of this but doesnt that seem more profitable?
