So what happens if someone uses some of these credentials and enjoys free AI for as long as they are active? Just curious if this is is criminally enforced now and what the penalties have been? I remember there was a site awhile ago that listed Ollama instances which were made open to the public and had the # of tokens/sec throughput beside each one.

Surprised the gap is that small! 3.64 vs 3.11 per 1k repos I'd have expected Gitee to be way worse with no scanning partnerships at all.. would be curious to see GitHub in that table, to know how much push protection actually changes that number
