    (Author here) Hi everyone, thanks for the spirited debate! I think there are some great points in the discussion so far. Some thoughts: * "This didn't work for offshoring, why will…

    (Author here) I can certainly appreciate having an alternate perspective, but I think it's unfair to say it's DOA. I've personally used this workflow for the last 6 months and ship…

    (Author here) Personally, I try to combat this by synchronously working on 1 task and asynchronously working on others. I am not sure it's perfect, but it definitely helps me avoid…

    Thanks for mentioning Braintrust! We are very committed to the proxy :) Although, to your point, we have seen less market pull for routing, and more for (a) supporting the latest L…

    We absolutely can. The proxy already supports running in multiple environments, including your own AWS VPC deployed on Lambda, so I'm sure we could add support for Bedrock (Anthrop…

    We think a lot about this. I think it's very important to us to provide building blocks that foster a more open ecosystem. Part of that is providing building blocks (like the proxy…

    Model routers are a "semantic" abstraction -- they analyze the contents of a prompt and automatically determine which provider to use. This proxy is (currently) much simpler: you p…

    LiteLLM is a great project. The key differences (from what I can tell) are that: a) This is hosted b) Supports caching and load balancing c) Can manage multiple providers behind a …
