Ethan Ding on the economics of providing LLM services:
when you're spending time with an ai—whether coding, writing, or thinking—you always max out on quality. nobody opens claude and thinks, "you know what? let me use the shitty version to save my boss some money." we're cognitively greedy creatures. we want the best brain we can get, especially if we’re balancing the other side with our time.
This service provides a managed API solution for upscaling low-resolution, blurry, or compressed facial images. It supports multiple upscaling models including GFPGAN (v1.4) with Real-ESRGAN backend and Crystal Upscaler to deliver high-quality, identity-preserving 2×–8× upscaled results without requiring GPU infrastructure.
