Meta's Contributor AI tier offers ultra-cheap tokens for training data

Meta has introduced a Contributor tier for its AI services that charges roughly $0.10 per million input tokens, a price up to 20 times lower than standard rates. The catch, widely noted by developers, is that users effectively pay with their data: code and inputs submitted through the tier can be used to train Meta's models. Reactions in the open-source community are mixed, with some welcoming cheap access for hobbyists and others warning about privacy implications.
Why now: The unusually low price paired with the training-data trade-off has sparked debate about privacy and the real cost of cheap AI access.
