Not too bad, I had some gas in the tank from an old project sitting on my API account so it used up all of it. Expect in the few hundred dollars.
I'm considering switching to DeepSeek since it's way cheaper. I'll swap once I'm done testing out the API. You can use your own hosted LLM but it's not worth it at this moment.
Woah, a few hundred just to demo the thing. How could you keep this afloat?
That’s the tricky part about building LLM apps. I’d love to hear more from Indie devs because money is absolutely a bottle neck here.
For fun:
You don’t need an LLM for some of your calls I think. “Where is the Eiffel Tower”, Eiffel Tower is a NER that small NLP libraries can extract. Then it’s a simple long/lat lookup. You might be able to re-route 20% of your calls to a no-cost backend call.
never had any thought on monetizing this at all so maybe offer pro features down the line? idk
I'm used to just putting stuff out there for people to try out. Could be spent on worse things all things considered haha
Just re-used a domain name, fyi "godview" is not exclusive to Uber, it's used mostly for internal tools with super-admin privileges. I'm not 100% certain if it comes from Uber originally because I remember using it internally in early 2010s before the Uber incident.
Not sure why this got nuked from the front-page all of a sudden but thanks everyone for checking it out. I'll be sure to incorporate the features mentioned here.
It does, I can certainly add it. I made it because I'm looking to open a new location for a brick and mortar business so I needed a way to look at the competitive landscape, high-level demographics etc...
It would be cool for planning travels! I'll look into it.
