Crypto wallet introduces pay-per-use access to premium subscription artificial intelligences
Cake Wallet, a beloved choice among crypto enthusiasts, has integrated a groundbreaking feature: access to a pay-per-use artificial intelligence (AI) platform. This platform grants users access to top-tier APIs including ChatGPT-4, Dall-E 3, Claude 3 Opus, and more. Finbold exclusively spoke with the founders of these companies to delve into the realm of utilizing cryptocurrencies for service payments.
Vik Sharma, the visionary behind Cake Wallet, unveiled the integration of NanoGPT through a post on X on May 12th. This AI marvel is seamlessly available on Cake’s Marketplace, nestled beneath the Cake Pay service catering to pre-paid gift cards.
Now, Cake Wallet aficionados can engage with premium AI chatbots on a pay-per-use basis directly from their cryptocurrency self-custody addresses, utilizing Nano (XNO). Furthermore, within the app, users can effortlessly swap other supported cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Monero (XMR), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Polygon-based USDT, USDC, and more.
“Acknowledging the soaring popularity of AI chatbots, we believe that cryptocurrencies, supported by our app, offer an efficient and private gateway to their world. We’re unwavering in our commitment to these principles as a company. Nano, with its zero fees, perfectly aligns with this micropayment paradigm,” expressed Vik Sharma to Finbold.
But what exactly is NanoGPT? It serves as a pivotal cryptocurrency service intricately linked to multiple artificial intelligence APIs, revolutionizing crypto payments into a pay-per-use model. This groundbreaking approach liberates users from the burden of maintaining myriad premium subscriptions to access different AI functionalities tailored to their unique needs.
Mira Hurley, the mastermind behind NanoGPT, reminisced about its humble beginnings as a basic Telegram bot supporting only ChatGPT-4. Reflecting on the recent partnership with Cake Wallet, Hurley shared, “NanoGPT has undergone a remarkable evolution since its inception as a mere Telegram bot. We’ve transitioned from a solitary model to offering users a diverse selection of text and image models. Users can seamlessly continue any previous conversation at their convenience, track their usage to gauge cost-effectiveness compared to subscriptions, and enjoy support across various platforms such as Discord, email, and Twitter. We’ve implemented numerous quality of life improvements.”
As of now, Hurley is extending a warm welcome to new Cake Wallet users by offering small amounts of XNO to experience the tool firsthand.
Pay-per-use services, intriguingly, are emerging as preferable alternatives to conventional subscription models prevalent across various industries. This innovative model champions feeless and instant crypto payments as a natural progression in the digital landscape.
The allure of accessing premium AIs like ChatGPT-4, Dall-E 3, Claude 3 Opus, and others has captivated developers and companies alike, including Cake Wallet, NanoGPT, and PayPerQ. The latter, as reported by Finbold in April, offers a similar pay-per-use service while facilitating Bitcoin payments via the Lightning Network.
As users potentially gravitate towards this new model, companies must adapt their offerings and payment mechanisms accordingly. However, it remains too early to ascertain the trajectory of the pay-per-use concept within the AI industry and the role crypto payments will play in this transformative journey.
