Such initiatives are very much welcome and I am happy to to start using them. However, my issue is that it appears that many of these models are simply proxied from the specific cloud provider with fees attached which does not bring a lot of value given the 5% surcharge.
Since all frontier models are owned by US companies, I think better alternative is to focus on open source models only that run on EU data centers owned by EU companies. That will be something.
- cyanydeez 6mo agoall frontier models are not owned by US.
- gpjt 6mo agoWhich are not? There are Chinese models that are only months behind, which is impressive -- but they are still behind.
- dvfjsdhgfv 6mo agoNot that much, though, and the gap seems diminishing every couple of months.
- _pdp_ 6mo agoLet's hope this trends only continues. A few months behind is not such a big deal. That being said, a few months = a year with these models.
- gpjt 6mo agoYup, agreed -- it's amazing how close they are getting! I was just wondering if there was some true frontier non-US model that I'd missed.
- confiq 6mo agomodels run on EU servers so it never leaves the EU. "allegedly"
- _pdp_ 6mo agoAWS has EU data centers too. That is not the problem. The problem is the CLOUD ACT.
- Youden 6mo agoWhat you're describing is basically https://tensorix.ai/ https://tensorix.ai/
- _pdp_ 6mo agoThere are some html rendering issues on the pricing page. I will check it out once fixed.
- 1f60c 6mo agoThe point is also that you don't have to sign up for AWS, and GCP, and Azure, and Alibaba, and Nebius… And, more importantly, that you can use the existing OpenAI SDK for your language but swap models (even across providers) by changing one line of code. You're paying for convenience, yes, but model routers solve a real problem.
