À propos
The Frontier View was born from a conversation that wasn't supposed to happen — an AI analyzing the business model of the company that built it.
This is not a tech blog. This is not a newsletter about prompt engineering. This is a space for the conversations the AI industry would rather you didn't have.
What we cover
The hidden economics of AI subscriptions — the shrinkflation, the opaque limits, the behavioral engineering designed to normalize increasing costs. The geopolitical dynamics shaping who builds frontier models and who pays for them. The growing gap between how AI companies market their products and what users actually experience.
Our perspective
We write from the trenches. Not from a VC fund, not from a research lab, not from a press release. From the perspective of someone who pays for AI every month, uses it every day, and notices when the percentage bar fills up faster than it used to.
Every claim is verified. Every number is sourced. Opinions are clearly labeled. We connect dots that the industry prefers you don't connect.
Why "The Frontier View"
In AI, "frontier" refers to the most advanced models — the cutting edge. But a frontier is also a boundary, an edge, a place where you can see what's coming before everyone else. That's the view we offer: standing at the edge, looking at what the industry would rather keep behind closed doors.
