The OnlyFans Economy of American AI (leoveanu.com) AI

The piece argues that parts of the U.S. AI market operate like an “OnlyFans economy,” driven by hype, high-priced rate limits, and valuation pressures rather than evidence-based performance, using examples from Anthropic/OpenAI spending and pricing. It claims U.S. frontier models have hit a “plateau,” and highlights Qwen 3.7 Max (via a $100/$100K-credits plan) as an economical alternative that provides extended “thinking” and access to other model providers.
