Seems to just use trace.moe ? And begs for donations on every request. Did you really made your own models or are you just using an api and try to make money on their back ?

Yes, this website does use trace.moe. I believe trace.moe prohibits commercial usage of their API, but since I am only asking for donations, I don't think it can be considered commercial use, so I would say I'm good.

Also, I know Python and the Hugging Face transformer API, so I could build my own model. However, I didn't because this is my first project that I put live on the internet, and I don't have an RTX A100 nor can I afford to rent one, so I wanted to keep it simple. Besides, if an API for something I want already exists, why should I build my own?
