it is impressive that github's downtime situation has gotten SO bad that:
they've suspended signing up for PAID llm usage. they cannot take your money because they know they can't deliver
if you are already a customer on the middle tier, they have reduced your access and you have to pay 4x as much if you want it back
they've removed the best models from mid-tier because they're simply too expensive to run at rates individuals can pay
this is WHILE being an internal user of one of the largest cloud businesses in the world; github should, in principle, have effectively infinite compute as long as the customers are paying
completely independent of all other concerns both practical and ethical, it turns out that trying to run code-generating LLMs at commercial scale is just wildly, impractically expensive and unreliable
