Support is fuel, not a subscription: everything stays free either way.
One link, no tiers, no locked features. This page says exactly what a coffee’s worth becomes.
THE LINK
one-off or monthly · card · under a minute · the word is support, not donation: gaige is not a charity, and nothing here buys a tax deduction
WHAT IT BECOMES
GPU HOURS
Every number on this site came off a real card with real electricity behind it, and compute is the slow half of every receipt. Fuel turns into scoring runs: the watermark verifier and the batched runner are both waiting on exactly this.
CORPORA
Wider material to calibrate against (more domains, more registers, more length regimes), so the advice this tool gives rests on more than one corpus family.
TIME ON THE QUEUE
Issues answered sooner, edges documented sooner, the roadmap simply moving faster. The order of the queue never changes; the pace does.
The full queue (what lands with or without support, and what serious resources would unlock) lives on the ROADMAP page.
SUPPORT WITHOUT MONEY
Fuel is not only money. Citing gaige where you used it, filing the issue when something breaks, and bringing use cases or improvement ideas to the Discussions page all move the queue, and a good bug report with its receipt attached moves it further than a coffee does.
WHAT IT NEVER BUYS
- A different answer. Results, thresholds, and refusals are not for sale at any amount: honesty here is enforced by tests, not promises.
- Credibility. Nothing that affects what a receipt says can be paid for. If gaige ever runs an ad or takes a sponsor, it sits below the work and says so plainly.
- Exclusivity. The license stays AGPL, and anything that surfaces an error, an interval, or a caveat stays free forever; that is the point of the tool, not a tier.
