The expected pricing is very strange:

Regular Twitch Neurons (RTN) - running wherever there's capacity at $0.01 / 1k neurons

Fast Twitch Neurons (FTN) - running at nearest user location at $0.125 / 1k neurons

Neurons are a way to measure AI output that always scales down to zero. To give you a sense of what you can accomplish with a thousand neurons, you can: generate 130 LLM responses, 830 image classifications, or 1,250 embeddings.

Who came up with this? This is ridiculous. I understand the underlying issues but would still prefer a metric like seconds of utilization multiplied by the size of worker.

Besides this, the expected pricing doesn't talk about the expected pricing but just the pricing model. Have the feeling that this is not going to be competitive to platforms like Vast.ai
