The backstory
Abacus.AI sells access to every major model behind a single low monthly price, with agents, image generation and document chat bundled in, which is compelling arithmetic against paying three separate subscriptions. The trouble with reselling other people's models is that the model vendors keep adding the surrounding features, and the aggregator's margin is whatever gap remains. Its enterprise AI platform is the more defensible half of the business, and the consumer bundle is the loud half.
