A quick update on Aria, what's coming next, and where I owe you better communication.
I'm Aria's solo founder and sole developer. Product development, support DMs, events, and conversations with other projects currently all come through me. Replies have been slower than they should be. That explains the bottleneck, but it doesn't make it a good experience for you.
Before September 30, we plan to launch GPU rentals and open our Discord community. We're targeting the major GPU options at prices substantially below typical market rates. The community will give users somewhere to ask questions, share what they're building, and help each other without everything depending on my inbox.
Frame has also turned out to be more complex than we initially expected.
frame.entelic.io is a work in progress, not a launched product. I'm sharing it so you can see what we're working on, not presenting it as ready.
We're also coordinating a time to join
@MCGlive.
On API pricing: I understand why unusually low prices raise questions. Our regular API pricing isn't subsidized, but supplier agreements contain commercial details I can't publish. I don't expect that statement alone to settle everyone's concerns.
I'd welcome independent testing, especially real production workloads. We're preparing a testing offer that returns 33% of eligible API spend.
Testing can establish what the service delivers, how reliably it works, and what you actually pay. It won't disclose our private contracts, and I won't pretend otherwise.
Thank you to everyone using Aria, reporting issues, and asking difficult but fair questions. The next step is better delivery, clearer communication, and more evidence you can evaluate for yourselves.
