I take it you either have a godly IP reputation, or you don't hit 90% of the current internet which is behind cloudflare, google, akamai, etc? They're pretty brutal in blocking non-browsers, I tend to have to add a lot of useless

rust code tends to be incredibly slow unless you spend a ton of time optimizing (compared to other compiled languages, and contrary to popular belief).

Fun fact, the frontier LLMs can (mostly) oneshot a realtime implementation of it (I got passable versions in both webgl and in c++ for a screensaver). They struggle with the "evolution"/variation part, though, so you mostly g

Or both, if you're distilling a model (which is already against ToS), why not go for gray/black market leaked API keys instead of paying full price. Or for the pirate open router service people, part of the "distillation"
