No single signin. Privacy policy allows training. No try it first without credit card. It's a good idea, but this looks premature.
I assume trying without a credit card will bankrupt him immediately.

Re: Show HN: Echo – Fable-level results at 1/3 the cost using open-weight models
#32I’m very confused on what this is, my initial thought was “oh nice, open source router.”
I go to the website…and it’s a sign up. I expected a repo. Otherwise how do I use it? As a SaaS? Yeah right.
Oh well I guess at least the benchmarks are good…I find the benchmarks and many are either not present or are not what the title claims.
My main question is how this has so many updoots from HN, probably the passerby not looking closer for sure.
I mean no offense and I really do wish you best on this, but it seems like what we used to call back in the day, vaporware.

But we get ~$2500/mo worth of Fable credits for $200/mo on Anthropic pan? I'm still confused why people (who don't have to use API billing) are chasing open weight models based on cost.

Because that is a short term solution, it won’t be offered forever. Large organisations have to purchase credits at $/tokens. Eventually everyone else will too.

#36Is this yet another Sakana Fugu / OpenRouter Fusion?
Looks like it but with open-weights only.

This is what OpenAI and Anthropic are trying to make everyone believe. Most accountants will flinch at this (they already are).
The $200 odd plans are already out of reach of many, many people.
The attrition of customers if they were to get rid of these subscriptions plans would be untenable.

You may want to consider the incomes of developers outside the US, students, unemployed. $200/month is a lot to a lot of people.

#39So this is the dogpile.com of the askjeeves, alta vista, and lycos approach? Time is a flat circle?
