Similar vibes than Reddit api pricing

    Gotcha - I guess I’m still not following though. Twitter and Reddit upped API fees because the data could be used to train LLMs.

    Obviously if you had access to everyone’s driving/Tesla data - that’d be valuable - but I am assuming the API data is only for the owners using these the apps like you mentioned.

    Is the data available across all users or are they prepping to release some kind of anonymized user data?

      I can’t eee how blocking API use helps train LLMs.

      Even if the users has a 3rd party app, it’s still making the API calls, so whatever data is already on the server side.

        Most of these apps run via the app providers servers. So while each subscriber provides an apikey that only gets data on their car(s), the app provider can save every single api response and whatever they want with it.
