This seems like something xAi could reproduce in a weekend

  Could but hasn't. What exactly is xAI's USP compared to the others?

    CSAM and having the potential to randomly becoming unhinged due to strong alignment with the whims of the one dude? Surely puts enterprises at ease.

    Copying others better and faster. I would say this is right up their alley.

  The other thing OpenRouter gets you is: Access to loads of models via a common API/sign-up/prepayment mechanism. I want to know which vendor/model does best at my extracting-facts-from-text task? Which does best at my OCR-a-text-document task? Which can deal with a safe-for-work beach photo without a censorship system false alarm? OpenRouter lets me run my tests against openai and anthropic and google and x and bytedance and qwen and llama, with a single sign-up and a single payment.

    You can do that with AWS too.

      AWS Bedrock's model offering is tiny compared to Open Router. I have to agree with GP, there's no better way to run an eval suite against many models

    The other thing is, aren't the models mostly indistinguishable at this point?

  Nobody would trust one of the labs that have their own models with this. They’d assume they’re taking all the data, and biasing the routing to favour themselves. xAI would probably be the least trusted, but the same would apply for any of them.

  xAI just not in the game, never was.

  Everyone could reproduce this on a weekend...
