Kagi, the company behind a paid, private search engine1 of the same name, has announced it's bringing its Webkit-based Orion web browser to Linux. In a
You do not pay anything different for AI prompts. You should really actually try the product before you make up all these things about it.
But what you pay involves the calculated cost of using the AI, otherwise they’d be losing money if a lot of users were to make too many prompts. So it should be possible to have a lower price that didn’t give you any prompts.
Yes, they made it unrestricted which means they’re charging you considering you can use it a lot. That’s what I mean. Using LLMs APIs isn’t free so it has a cost embedded, which they certainly calculated, or else they’d run the risk of it being abused.
A lot of people don’t think about the cost of LLMs until they consider running a business on it. Both Apple and Samsung say their AI features are free “for now” but don’t say what’s gonna happen after because there’s a lot of uncertainty. They know OpenAI loses money even on paying users and would have to raise the prices a lot to make a profit but they can’t for now because there’s a lot of competition already. So the race will be for who will be standing when the competitors’ money run out.
Kagi doesn’t do that. It doesn’t even show you an AI response unless you specifically request it.
I wish there was a cheaper plan that didn’t involve AI at all. Like, I don’t care to have X prompts every month. I’d like to pay just for the engine.

The other poster is right… The base plans don’t contain any amount of “prompts” and are very reasonable /affordable.
