Reviewer scorecard
“No real API for developers. It's a consumer chat product, not a developer tool. Use direct APIs instead.”
“Enterprise pricing only. Not accessible for smaller teams. The RLHF data services are their differentiator.”
“Why pay Poe when you can access the same models directly? The markup for convenience doesn't make sense.”
“Important for training frontier models but irrelevant for 99% of AI developers. Enterprise-only play.”
“Great for comparing model outputs side-by-side. Custom bots with system prompts are useful for non-technical users.”
“The data engine for AI is as important as the compute engine. Scale's position in frontier model training is unique.”
