Quora's Poe releases a developer API with access to a bouquet of AI models
Quora's AI platform Poe announced on Thursday that it's releasing an API that allows developers to easily access different models or bots for their own applications. The API doesn't require a separate fee. Instead, usage is tracked via Poe's existing point-based subscription plans, where each model call costs a set number of points. For instance, low-quality image generation through GPT-4o in a 1:1 aspect ratio and 1024×1024 size would cost 328 points. Today, Poe's plans include the $4.99 per month plan (10 thousand points per day), the $19.99/mo plan (1 million points per month), the $49.99/mo plan (2.5 million points per month), the $99.99/mo plan (5 million points per month), and the $249.99/mo plan (12.5 million points per month). Developers will also be able to buy additional points at a rate of $30 for 1 million tokens. Add-on tokens don't come in a fixed package, so customers can pay any dollar amount to get tokens based on that rate. Through this API, developers can power tools like Cursor, Cline, Continue, Roo, and any others that work with OpenAI-compatible chat completion APIs. The platform currently provides access to more than 100 models across voice, text, image, and video generation. These multimodal models include Imagen 4, GPT Image 1, Flux Kontext, Seedream 3.0, Veo 3, Runway Gen 4 Turbo, Kling 2.1, ElevenLabs, and Lyria. 'Currently, we are working on allowing developers to take a private bot they have built on Poe and use that through an API. Plus, we are thinking about better key management for developers for the API product,' Gareth Jones, Poe's Product Lead for Creators and Developers, told TechCrunch over a call. While API provides a way for developers to use different models, Poe also offers tools aimed at consumers. Earlier this year, the company introduced a new way to allow users to easily create AI-powered apps. It also offers templates to build server bots, prompt bots, and image generation bots. At the moment, developers will need to pick and manage model use manually. Jones said that the company will consider adding budget management functionality in the future, based on developer feedback.

'Genius' Netflix horror series fans can't believe they weren't told 'it was this good'
Netflix users are still discovering the beloved master work Netflix fans are still discovering for the first time a 'genius' horror series they can't believe they weren't told 'it was this good'. Despite being available to stream for the last two years since its release in 2023, some users are only just stumbling across limited series The Fall of the House of Usher. Coming from the mind of Mike Flanagan, who is also the creator of The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass, the series is described a wicked horror series based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. According to the synopsis, ruthless siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher have built Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into an empire of wealth, privilege and power. But past secrets come to light when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying at the hands of a mysterious woman from their youth. Each episode takes the name of one of Poe's classic poems. It boasts an impressive 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and also marked the final project by Flanagan for Netflix. The filmmaker has also helmed a number of Stephen King adaptations including Gerald's Game, Doctor Sleep and the upcoming Life of Chuck. He is also set to make a miniseries based on the author's debut novel Carrie. Netflix subscribers are still discovering his previous work on the platform however. A post on the Netflix subreddit shared just this week claimed: "Just finished The Fall of the House of Usher. WHY did no one warn me it was this good?!" They continue: "I went in thinking it would be another slow gothic horror, but damn, Mike Flanagan really cooked with this one. The visuals, the pacing, the way each episode was named after a Poe story… genius. "And can we talk about Carla Gugino? She was terrifying and mesmerizing all at once. I haven't binged something this fast in a while. Anyone else get Haunting of Hill House vibes but darker and more vicious? Curious if I should go for Midnight Mass next." Many responses agreed with the original poster that the series is one of Mike Flanagan's best, closely followed by Midnight Mass. They also confessed to having binge watched Fall of House of Usher multiple times. There are several online reviews that back this up. One person sharing their thoughts posted: "Utter perfection! I'm a huge Edgar Allen Poe fan since I was a kid and I LOVED how this short story was drawn out to a full series with each of the elements bringing out others of Poe's works and weaving their own individual narratives into the broader story. Every element is fantastic." Another suggested that it can be enjoyed by those who aren't always keen on traditional horror. They said: "Usually I don't like horror shows or movies, but this one has become one of my favourites. Maybe that's because it's not fully a horror — it's that, but also drama, and sci-fi. A great blend is offered, and it builds up very nicely with time jumps done perfectly along the way. "No confusion, just suspense. Mike Flanagan really pays tribute to Edgar Allan Poe in this series in the most epic of ways. Carla Gugino delivers an acting masterclass as Verna, aka the Raven, delivering poetic justice!" Someone else offered theirverditct sayin This series did not disappoint. It grabbed me right from the start and did not let go. The twists and turns were spot on. The actors were ALL perfectly cast. Whether they were bad people, venomous people, kind people, selfish people they were all perfectly cast. The pacing was just perfect. I can't fault the series in any way The Fall of the House of Usher is streaming on Netflix.

A strange Poe novel might be just the right book for today's weird times
Advertisement Rezek, who teaches at Boston University, says that when he first encountered 'Pym' while preparing for his doctoral exams he was 'confused and alarmed by the whole thing! I knew Poe, obviously, for his stories and poems, but as a novel, I just thought, 'Why did he write it? What was he thinking?'' The bafflement is part of the project, adds Wolff, an associate professor in the English department at Tufts. 'I think part of the idea of the series is that it's fun for people to encounter a text that causes some disequilibrium, kind of confuses you.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Poe was born in Boston and published his first poetry as simply 'a Bostonian,' forgoing even a pen name. But as both Rezek and Wolff point out, he was primarily a Southern writer, steeped in the racism of antebellum Richmond, where he was raised. 'Poe is one of those where you teach him, you have to reckon with that,' says Rezek. 'His politics don't make you feel good as a modern person.' And yet, Wolff adds, Poe's work in Pym is also 'a kind of window into the antebellum mindset and how much the nation was either grappling with or desperately trying to avoid the question of race and racial difference in slavery.' Advertisement Both scholars point to Toni Morrison's ' 19th century literature helps explain both the past and the present, Rezek says. 'And just understanding America more deeply is an urgent project now.' 'You can read it as really richly and interestingly and provocatively illustrative of some key anxieties and concerns of the Antebellum period,' Adds Wolff. 'But also, he's just a really fun writer who was a master of sensation and of horror and of suspense. I mean, it is a terrifying, gross, kind of funny, strange adventure tale.' Nathan Wolff and Joseph Rezek will speak at 7 p.m. Monday, July 28, at . And now for some recommendations ...
