    "text": "And how much does this get cost? I don't really have a clear answer to that because he's sharing my GitHub subscription. So I think I use most of it. But I think maybe it's been costing like $100 to $200 a month maybe. And that's not, that's almost for free. But I guess that will increase now. And also we're not using the most expensive models. So that cost could go up a lot. But it's enabled us to do this.",
