I think openAI and Anthropic are getting ready to launch their next generation of models (Claude 5 and GPT 6), which will quickly make us hit our rate-limits and we'll start entering a world where most people will start to have/want to pay for additional tokens.
We're all just getting too used to having great models for a fraction of the the value they give us.
While this is really concerning, it feels like a small new category of errors to check for. The article mentions an increase of 220% of the amount of submissions. That's incredible news for science, probably lots of honest scientists able to produce more work and eventually lead to more science being done.
Agreed, Sentry, Posthog, and many more are all doing the exact same thing now, I'd be surprised if this was a good deal for Langfuse. I personally migrated away from it to use Sentry, their software was honestly not that great.
