Man, this space would get so much more interesting so quickly if base model providers had a revenue share system in place for routed requests...

- runako 2y agoThis would quickly erode confidence in the routers themselves...
- loceng 2y agoOr create a competitive environment between routers?
- danlenton 2y agoAnother point here is that some users prefer to use their own API keys for the backend providers (a feature we're releasing soon). Any "discounts" would then be harder to implement. I do generally think it's much cleaner if we route based on the public facing price + performance, so our users don't need to lock into our own SSO if they'd prefer not to.
- loceng 2y agoI think the biggest risk with advanced AI is that it's captured [likely by bad actors under the guise of cover stories] and that it strays away from being as free market as is possible. E.g. I don't think there should be any patents regarding what AI creates and how it can create it - let's not give people monopolies anymore for which all possibilities will come into existence due to passionate people, not due to the possibility of being able to patent something. E.g. telling the system to turn a 2D photo into a 3D rendering and then extrapolating/reverse engineering that to tie into materials and known building code requirements is plainly obvious, as one easy example; a "gold rush" for patents on AI etc only aims to benefit relatively rent-seekers and those in the VC industrial complex, etc.
- danlenton 2y agothat's a good point, impartiality would then be questioned
- danlenton 2y agoI certainly wouldn't complain about this lol
- namdnay 2y agoSo they end up in the same situation as hotels or airlines, beholden to the middlemen? They’ll never allow that :)
