Description
UsingOpen is a no-login playground for open AI models (GLM, Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma, and more). Built for: • Privacy: No signups, no saved history, and no prompt tracking. • Frictionless access: No token walls, daily caps, or paywalls. It’s completely free. Pick a model and chat with live streaming, reasoning traces, image support, and real-time status. Open a tab. Use it. Close it.

Could you build this?
Partial Building a chat UI wrapper with streaming responses is very easy, but offering free, unauthenticated, unlimited inference on open-source models (GLM, Qwen, DeepSeek) requires either absorbing immense GPU hosting costs or specialized rate-limiting/abuse-prevention infra.
What it would actually take: The application architecture is a basic frontend routing requests through an inference gateway (e.g., vLLM, Ollama, or third-party inference APIs like Together/OpenRouter). The hard part is the unit economics and infrastructure: securing high-end GPU clusters (A100s/H100s) and implementing robust anti-bot/DDoS defenses to survive serving free public LLM traffic without accounts.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
