The world of AI is evolving very rapidly. Because of this, we are likely to see features emerging at a pace that few are expecting.
A few months back, the idea of image generation being part of LeoAI anywhere near launch seemed absurd. This is no longer the case. Meta, along with some other models, have it as part of their basic system. The cost has dropped a great deal just in the last 120 days.
For that reason, image generation could follow the release of LeoAI by a couple months.
This is not the end of the story though. In this article we will go through some of what is possible as we look into 2025.

LEO Premium: Multi-Tiered Pricing System
Before diving in, let us start with what we think LeoAI will look like at launch.
Please bear in mind, these are the optional features that people can utilize. We will see LeoAI incorporated into the platform itself, powering recommend engines and things of that nature which will be available to everyone.
As a side note, this is the free version of the site.
We know there is a chatbot that will be one of the first features to roll out. This is going to be similar to most other chatbots out there, utilizing Meta Llama as the LLM. It is also trained on all of the data from the Hive blockchain.
Another feature that was mentioned was something similar to co-pilot. This is going to be an aid to people who want to search specific items on the Hive blockchain. We can think of this as a writer assist mechanism that is there to aid the user in putting together articles.
These are things that we could see when LeoAI goes live. Whether both will be available upon release, that remains to be determined. However, they could emerge close to each other.
Here is where we see the pricing structure potentially diverge from where it is.
Additional Layers For Leo Premium
As mentioned, the AI incorporated into the platform along with the present, basic functionality is free.
Leo Premium will provide the present features plus the chatbot and co-pilot. It also will likely include image generation once that is incorporated.
So far, we have walked a fairly standard line. At this point, we will get a bit more speculative.
To get an idea of how this could shape up, consider the idea of another level for Leo Premium. Let's call it Premium+.
But why do we need such as service as this?
The idea is to offer even more AI features, some of which will cost a bit more to operate. For example, we see rapid progress being made with text-to-video generation. This could be something that is available as part of Premium+.
Perhaps that cost 20 HBD per month (an additional 10).
We also see a variety of tools emerging for image manipulation along with generation. For example, it might be possible to incorporate the ability to remove items in an image. Also, the image could be fed into the video generator to produce a short video.
Then we have AI agents.
We could see where the development team starts to roll out different AI agents. Meta is already starting to build a foundation for this. Users could access the capabilities these agents provide, automating certain activities.
One quick example might be an automated trading bot tied to LeoDex. This would allow users to set parameters for trading, with certain entry and excite point. Or perhaps there is an agent that is built which can arbitrage coins or tokens on different decentralized exchanges. The user would simply enter the coin/token and which exchanges along with the wallet info. Here we could see how the agent could engage in the trades in an autonomous manner.
Of course, this doesn't have to be limited to finance.
What about an agent that helps to market one's services, goods, or brand on different social media? An agent could be built that autonomous posts on different social media platform, promoting whatever is desired. This could be prepared information or posts the agent creates (likely need to train it on your material first).
The point here is we can see massive expansion of AI features, many available at the higher level. This takes the idea of Premium one step further.
Also, it provides the ideal selection structure. In marketing, the best is to have good, better, best.
Free is good.
Leo Premium is better (10 HBD)
Leo Premium+ is the best (20 HBD)
This allows users to decide what their needs are and which plan best fits them.
AI is going to allow for this. We are seeing such rapid advancement that the potential of what can be offered in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2025 is just a guess at this point.
