Usage-based vs seat-based pricing for software
A grounded comparison of the two dominant software pricing models: how seat-based and usage-based pricing each work, what each does for revenue predictability and value alignment, the very different ways they expand and churn inside a customer, why the "right" answer depends on how your product creates value, and why many mature products end up combining the two rather than choosing one.
- Seats = predictable, usage = fair
- Price should track value
- Hybrid models are common

Model quantization: how big AI models shrink to run in a browser
A plain-English explanation of the technique that makes on-device AI possible: why a model’s size is the gatekeeper for running it in a browser, what a model actually is under the hood, how quantization stores its numbers in fewer bits for a roughly four-times reduction, why models tolerate the lost precision, what it costs in accuracy, and how it combines with distillation and pruning.
- A model is billions of numbers
- Fewer bits ≈ 4× smaller
- Tiny accuracy cost, huge size win
