- yencabulator 4mo agoEveryone (except Anthropic) seems to be settling on the same API, so nobody "owns it" anymore. I expect there to be practically no software that's OpenRouter-only. https://openresponses.org/ https://openresponses.org/
- sowbug 4mo agoI agree that technical lock-in wouldn't cause the consolidation. Instead, if it happened, it would be because of the network effects of the two-sided platform. People could email cat photos and resumes. But Facebook and LinkedIn are where everyone already is, so that's what they use instead.
