Why not simply use https://openrouter.ai/

Foundation labs use bundled subscriptions to pool inference costs across dozens of tools. Startup founders don't have such advantage.

As the result, we see a lot of product behind 200/mo paywall. Conversion rates are low, free tiers cost builders a lot and Anthropic kills competition at scale.

Please, share your thoughts on that

Could you share GitHub? Also image background remover doesn't seem to work on my PC (macOS 26.5.1, chrome 149.0.7827.103)

Show HN: Wattfare – LLM API that's paid by users, not dev

https://wattfare.com/

Hey HN!I recently built halupedia - a funny site that hit 300k+ users in few weeks and #1 on hacker news. It was amazing project, which costed me $300+. Since halupedia uses a lot of AI I paid a lot for the bill, fortunately I'm fine thanks to donations and resigning from many planned features.It inspired me to built wattfare - just like BYOK it let's user bring their own AI budget to the...

Agreed. If you have some time, you can find our GitHub on halupedia.com. All PRs welcomed! ;)

Nice! I'm thinking on how can I make it more interactive. Those author styles could work well, will check that out.

Btw how would you imagine such dispute? What do you think could be the trigger for the article to be regenerated?

Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Thursday May 07, 2026 @02:03PM (#48052665)
Could be interesting direction to discover. The only problem with such implementation is it could take some work to make it cheap and actually well working. And I'm just thinking about the near future of this project.

I really like it, but without organic traffic, at the position we're right now, the moment HN stops showing us at the top, we will loose all the visitor.

And it's not like I'm trying to do a startup out of it. I just very enjoy making something people love! It's first time in my life and it's amazing.

If you have any interesting thought, please leave them here - I'll definitely read it, or visit our discord [link on halupedia ;) ].

there's now a search bar btw
Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Thursday May 07, 2026 @11:46AM (#48050815)
UPDATE: Search bar

UPDATE: Added moderation
Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Thursday May 07, 2026 @06:22AM (#48047657)
It is instructed to reference A LOT of articles. It just hallucinates all the url. If the url points to already existing article - it's just a coincidence

Here's our source code: https://github.com/BaderBC/halupedia

Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Thursday May 07, 2026 @06:18AM (#48047622)
Used to be a problem - now consistent for new articles ;)
Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Thursday May 07, 2026 @06:01AM (#48047505)
If you have idea how to improve it, I'm all ears ;)
Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Thursday May 07, 2026 @02:38AM (#48046165)
Interesting idea with flagging. We are considering 2 options: 1. You can generate aricle only if it was previously referenced in previous one 2. Flagging mechanism, now that you brought it up.

Let me know what you think!

Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @06:21PM (#48042680)
Actually interesting response. You can also check out github.
Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @06:13PM (#48042594)
I were just drunk and idea seemed funny. That's the idea behind haha.

But either way can't wait to see google ai overview cite us.

Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @06:01PM (#48042470)
Update: Implemented it. All new articles work that way
Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @05:59PM (#48042452)
Best part - I didn't implement such logic. It just for some reason works that way.
Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @05:45PM (#48042282)
Also now that I think, we store articles in decwntralized cloudflare KV store and access from serverless workers running also on their servers.

That could be the thing behind it being so quick.

Cloudflare workers have 1ms cold start.

Just added comment section :)
Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @02:31PM (#48039835)
UPDATE: Just now, comment section added. Have a nice time arguing!
Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @02:13PM (#48039573)
Exactly, but I consider adding fake search that could find you ANY article, including not existent ones
Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @02:12PM (#48039546)
Yep, just a react. Also we use gemini 2.5 flash lite, so it's fast, cheap and dumb.
Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @02:01PM (#48039393)
Great suggestion! Will immediately look into that!
Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @01:59PM (#48039349)
Yeah, thought about that, maybe will implement it. Will keep in mind! For now SSR to feed LLMs' the priority
Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @01:51PM (#48039240)
Tried once, but was useless. Very funny that it had so many text, while Elon is apparently "huge" fan of short and precise communication...
Re:Show HN: Hallucinopedia on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @01:50PM (#48039217)
It generates articles only once. So once it's generated, it never perish. Logic looks like: If article exist -> show it If not -> generate and save
