“the cost of fine tuning was $3 and then when they saw my tweets where I was sharing my Revenue uh that I was making so much money with this they said sorry we need to increase the price to $20 per training... so you have to go one level higher so you have to get your own uh virtual private server with gpus you know but then you need to learn the code”

Suppliers raise prices when they see your public revenue — abstract dependencies from day one

When you publicly share revenue and your supplier sees the numbers, the price you pay almost always goes up. Pieter's fine-tuning costs jumped 7x once his Avatar AI revenue tweets went viral. Build with an abstraction layer (config-swappable provider) from day one so when a supplier raises prices you can migrate within a week instead of being trapped. Also: weigh the cost of being publicly transparent against the price discovery you're giving suppliers.
