Clusters and Titles are on us

In the beginning, Machined was a fully bring-your-own-key platform, which meant that your api keys would be used for everything including the construction of auto-pilot clusters as well as generating titles. Well that's changed now! From today, we will no longer be using your api key for these tasks, constructing clusters and generating titles will be an internal cost for the platform.

This will make the platform easier to use, and also reduce your OpenAI bill slightly...

Why we're doing this

For many new users, adding an api key as a first step can be confusing and scary. We were thinking about ways to make it easier for new users to see the power of machined without the hurdle of adding keys. While we were experimenting, we saw that this was a benefit for everyone in the same way, so in evolving the platform, we've taken the step to improve the experience and reduce costs for everyone.

As always, we're focused on value-driven decisions for our users
