Hey, thanks for reaching out. Just wanted to share my experience. I really thought there was an issue in your API.

I had quite a few Kimi K3 requests served by Sail. Most of these were fine and had the reasoning traces (I like reading them), however I noticed that some requests were being generated unusually quick and had no reasoning trace, which led me to believe another fallback model was being used, since Kimi K3 always emits reasoning tokens.

I also believe some providers fallback to another model entirely. I was recently using Kimi K3 and saw that some requests had no reasoning trace whatsoever. Unsurprisingly, those requests were routed to the less reputable providers (Sail Research).

For a Google model you might be better off directly using their API, which is unfortunately far more painful than using OpenRouter, but it might at least be more reliable for your product.

I think the rate limit issue happens because of OpenRouter sending so many requests to Google.

In the video game Cyberpunk 2077, the "Net" is overrun by rouge AI and eventually humanity has to quarantine itself from them, ironically, using another AI.

I wonder if a similar fate awaits us?

That's true, but it's not quite the same thing. The single binary you're referring to is the interpreter and source code packaged together (at least for TS/JS).

If you install too many of these "single binaries" then at some point you would be better off just having a single interpreter and using npm/pip.

By contrast the Rust binary only contains the machine code for this program and can be directly executed.

I didn't see anyone mention this, but I think having a single binary is much nicer than having a JS (or Python) program sprawled all over your system.

I found Opus 4.6 to be good at Zig.

I got it to write me an rsync like CLI for copying files to/from an Android device using MTP, all in a single ~45 min sitting. It works incredibly well. OpenMTP was the only other free option on macOS. After being frustrated by it, I decided to try out Opus 4.6 and was pleasantly surprised.

I later discovered that I could plug in a USB-C hard drive directly into the phone, but the program was nonetheless very useful.

Funnily I had the opposite issue. I quit Nord and somehow I was still connected to the VPN. Luckily I caught it before I opened up anything personal.

I occasionally run this just to make sure, especially when using an unfamiliar service:

  curl ipinfo.io

This is also a great way to stop procrastinating and start projects.
