Python is batteries included, but all the batteries have corroded. Look at C++'s long in the tooth STL. You don't want to marry a language to fast aging libraries you have to support for eternity. Better libraries always naturally

I don't know - I think these Vendo guys are onto something here. Businesses will absolutely need to do this. As a data point, our users are going a step further. We gave away our desktop software as OSS and our users fork and vibe code

Switching costs are zero and alternatives are plentiful. OpenRouter is a name.

Would "OpenSourceRouter" be a trademark violation? I've built one in Rust and want to market it.

LLMs for coding are new. There are lots of alternatives, and there's a burgeoning open source compliment. We'll be fine no matter how Anthropic fares.

OpenRouter isn't open source. This isn't Stripe payments. The market will have lots of competitors.

You're not the customer. This is for people building products that support thousands of users. Linux on desktop is great for you, but this is a tool for people delivering solutions.

This is really interesting, because I'm actively building an open source SaaS router product. We're starting in the FAL area rather than the OpenRouter area (much higher margin), but they eventually intersect. My thinking is busin

LLMs have zero margin. Media models have crazy margin. Have you seen FAL's pricing? It's absurdly marked up. 50% or more.

Young people don't know who AI CEOs are without the media apparatus teaching them AI is bad. I've watched journalists dunk on this tech since the days of Tacotron. They love to dish out hate and venom and crystalize it around conc

But the understanding of the language library ecosystem, or even better, your codebase, could let it execute faster and with less context usage.

You're right, but the adeptness of models to spin up clients and behaviors on the fly is remarkable. They're capturing the semantics of behavior at a deeper level. If we do strict schemas, I'd like to see less ceremony around

Buf's offering of protobuf registries and codegen SDKs for microservices seems less necessary in the LLM era. I'm starting to question many of protobuf's advantages (perhaps not the wire format). Add to that monorepos and oth

A dithered, meme-y photo of Bill Gates appears if you win 10 times. That probably wasn't in the original, I'm guessing?

Let's just build a new Facebook. We have the tools to make this orders of magnitude easier. We can do this to all of social media. Big tech gave us the magic space runes (LLMs) we can use to undo them. They have no idea what they'

Moreover, OpenRouter is NOT Open Source, fair source, source available, etc. It's a proprietary cloud service that got first place in the API aggregation distribution game. Link to DeepSeek!

Comfy's UX sucks for most people. Even today you have to plug nodes if you want to change the reference image count. That's unacceptable. I've seen more people vibe coding their own UX than put up with Comfy. And these are no

This is a sign that distribution matters. Doesn't matter how many Lovable clones there are. Everyone knows the name Lovable. This caters to the overwhelming majority who cannot use tools like Claude Code or that prefer an all in one so

Minimax has NO filters of any kind, and it's roughly Veo/Sora-quality. You can generate a video of just about any thought in your head at all. IP holders and politicians will not like that. Granted, human artists have always been

There is probably a lag time before advertisers give up on AdSense. A lot of corporate ad spend is already planned, and Google can adjust the costs up as much as they like. They hold the lever.
