Chutes Build Pipeline Down, Pricing Model Defended

Chutes' build and deploy pipeline experienced an outage during the 24-hour window with no ETA for repair. Team defended GPU pricing strategy, explaining that miner payouts ($1.80) must align with end-user charges to avoid unsustainable subsidies, and positioned Chutes as still competitively priced versus competitors due to TEE, security, and custom inference optimization.
