While we have you here, could you please clarify a point in your privacy policy?

> For data collected from the UI or other usage: We retain the personal information described in this privacy notice for as long as you use our Services

I have two quick questions:

1. Why are UI prompts and responses kept for the entire life of the account?

2. When an account is closed, is the data actually deleted or just de-identified?

There is also NotepadNext which is oddly similar, sans the Lua: https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext

And to add to the above, is there a list of the websites you use and any information on sampling methodology? Is it perfectly random or weighted? Do you trust the timestamp from an RSS feed?

Comments like this make me think that a "downvote" button at HN would be quite handy.

New Qwen3 or older Qwen2.5 in larger sizes would be great.

That's... Sufficiently concerning, don't you think?

Do you plan to offer a high-quality FIM models in the bundle? Would be handy to perform autocompletion locally, say via the Qwen3-coder.

I can use it for personal needs, sure. Bringing AGPL in a closed-source project is a no go for obvious reasons.

The fact that it's "backed by NVIDIA" and licensed under AGPL-3.0 makes me wonder about the cost(s) of using it in production.

Could you share any information on the pricing model?
