Thank You for More Than a Year of LeemerChats

Thanks for sticking with two proudly self-declared novices. Over 24+ months you burned 1.5 billion tokens with us—coaching ideas into products, debugging real life, and proving that community beats polish. It's been absolutely crazy, and we're going even crazier.

When we opened this version of LeemerChat we promised to stay learners first. We called ourselves novices on purpose so we could keep tinkering without ego. That experiment worked because you showed up with curiosity and patience every single night. Now we're scaling infrastructure that handles 1B tokens per day—and we're just warming up.

Together We've Processed

1,500,000,000+

Tokens

Every question, every idea, every late-night debugging session. You made this possible. And we're just getting started.

Millions of ideas explored
Countless bugs squashed
Infinite creativity unlocked

From 9M in 2023 → 40M in 2024 → 500M in H1 2025 → 1B in H2 2025

We're scaling like crazy. Ready for 1B tokens per day.

The Journey: V3 → V4

Consider this our goodbye letter to the V3 era. It's a scrapbook of what we learned together and a promise that the experiments continue.

2023: Built as a Backup

Repath assembled a safety net when ChatGPT outages made work grind to a halt. Early friends used it to keep publishing overnight. 9M tokens sparked the journey.

2024: Renamed LeemerChat

The scrappy backup turned into a unified workshop with writer, research, podcast, and sharing flows. 40M tokens by end of year hardened the pipeline.

H1 2025: The Acceleration

500M tokens in the first half alone. Multi-model orchestration, email agents, and foundry launch proved the architecture could scale. The floodgates opened.

H2 2025: The Billion Era

1B tokens in six months. PowerCode, LeemerLite at 1,750 T/s, Durable Generation, and Agent-Leemer-K2 with 6,000+ integrations. We're ready for 1B tokens per day.

V4.5: Research & Email Automation

Auto Research, Email Research, and Leemer Deep Research 80B launched. Background agents keep working after you close the tab—results arrive in your inbox.

V4.7: Firecrawl Web Search

Real-time web search with intelligent query optimization, enhanced citations, and persistent source tracking across all models.

V4.8: The Smoother Experience

IKEA-inspired UI, frosted glass interfaces, durable generation that survives page refreshes, and LeemerGLM-106B-A22B launch.

V4.9: PowerCode & Agent-Leemer-K2

AI-powered coding agent with GitHub integration, LeemerLite sandbox at 1,750 T/s, Agent-Leemer-K2 connecting 6,000+ apps via Zapier MCP, and now surpassing 1.5B tokens processed together!

A Note from the Heart

Repath "Ray" Khan, Founder

Hey friends,

As I sit here in Waterford reflecting on this wild ride, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude—and a bit of disbelief. When we built LeemerChat in 2023 as a backup when ChatGPT outages made work grind to a halt, we never imagined we'd hit 1.5 billion tokens by the end of 2025. It's been absolutely crazy. And we're going crazier.

You believed in us before we had fancy features. You stuck with us through the bugs, the late-night maintenance windows, and the ambitious experiments that sometimes went sideways. From 9M tokens in early 2023 to 40M in 2024, then 500M in H1 2025, and another 1B in H2—every transcript, every bug report, every late-night chat kept the lights on.

I want you to know that LeemerChat exists because of you. The community you've built here is something we never expected but will forever cherish.

From the V3 era to now V4.9 with PowerCode, LeemerLite running at 1,750 T/s, Deep Research with multi-model orchestration, Email Agents delivering to your inbox, Agent-Leemer-K2 connecting 6,000+ apps via Zapier MCP, and Gemini 3 Pro breaking benchmark records—every breakthrough happened because you showed up, pushed us to be better, and never let us settle.

We're ready for 1B tokens per day. We're scaling infrastructure, refining agents, and we're open to funding that aligns with our mission: make advanced systems feel friendly to novices and unstoppable for the ambitious.

Happy Holidays to you and yours. Here's to another year of building the impossible together.

With love and gratitude,
Ray
