Just stop. Explaining why russia does have the motive to do stuff like this, is not a rant.

One being valid does not invalidate the other?

This looks like reasoning from an LLM

So because it could be incorrect, you'd rather not know at all?

Doesnt have to be all providers being bad, any unreliable providers still being routed to causes big issues.

2. Not saying they dont solve a problem, but if we can't rely on the providers being routed to, i don't really care if they provide a really nice api..

3. We are not talking about models, we are talking about providers of models. Openrouter does not route to models, it routes to providers.

What do you mean? Are you saying openrouter will not route to a provider that is up, versus one that is currently down?

1. Yes, but if i can't rely on openrouter to route to providers to give me the best price and the best uptime across a number of providers, and it instead gives me inconsistent results, then I will not use them.

2. As long as the apis use the openai spec, it should be fine? And what makes you say the providers are using different weights? The blogpost says the exact opposite?

3. Great example, if amazon does not lead me to good products, I will stop using it, and this is why I dislike amazon. There are so many crap products, and the search seems to try to push crap products instead of what i'm actually looking for at a good price.

You take a bunch of providers with not great uptime, put them in a pool and now you get great uptime - but it doesn't work if it's at the cost of shitty performance or failing toolcalls.

More like you found the exception to the rule..

Specifically for a terminal, i'd really prefer it to be open source. Primarily for security reasons, but also just so it's easier to avoid slop, in times like this with heavy LLM usage.

In general, lots of code equals lost of bugs.

Yes, there is a lot to unpack - and im sure very smart people has worked on these changes, so spotting what is and what is not peculiar ways to get around EU regulations is not easy.

Are you saying that this is not the case at all?

So how are they trying to circumvent the EU regulations this time?

Phasing like this immediately makes me wonder what google is lobbying for..

They also didn't/don't put a stop to the gambling sites, scams and non-scams, done with those lootboxes.

We have an epidemic of addiction to gambling in youth, where the arrow points at lootboxes as the gateway drug..

It amazes me how productive it's possible to be using AI, but I also has this nagging feeling that we are being reeled into being so reliant on this that when the price starts going up, we will simply eat the cost.

The math is pretty simple, and it's easy to justify still paying the price even if it goes up 10 fold, when compared to hirering more resources its still cheap.

So I guess having multiple players and competition in the market is the key?

Seems like a great analogy to me..

Not sure what to say, looks cool. One hit and then the ball kept rolling, very slowly, seemingly without any friction.

Sorry but can't wait until this whole AI situation finds a proper balance.
