Hey everyone,

So today's the day things officially change. As of the July 22nd rollout, TensorArt cut TenStar funding for older model architectures. From now on, incentives only go to their new base models — the Pro Model track is basically all we've got left for our existing stuff.

Gonna be straight with you: we fought this. A bunch of us creators got together, sent feedback, tried to push back — but TA didn't budge. I don't know exactly what's driving their decision on the backend, but it is what it is.

I'm sorry to say we're out of workarounds.

Training, testing, and fine-tuning these models takes a ton of time and compute. To keep this sustainable, I have to move some of my most-used models to Pro Only starting today.

I really don't want to paywall stuff — that was never the plan. But right now it's the only way to keep updates coming.

Here's my promise: this isn't forever. If TA changes their policy, adjusts the funding threshold, or brings back support for older models, I'll unlock everything again immediately.

Thanks for sticking with me through all the testing and changes. You all are the reason I keep doing this.

Sorry again for the hassle — we'll keep pushing forward.
