would encourage you to read up about how the rest of the world has solved this

Can you just link us to the relevant pieces? I rather not search on my own and read wall street propaganda on why it's bad (which is what I'm finding and not interested in).

Here's a McKinsey report on Pix, Open Banking, and Open Finance in Brazil[1]

Deleted. I don’t like starting rage baits… ;)

With vibe coding, you can make a bot that pretends to be human accessing the banks website, and be able to hit the bot with an API, and have the bot interact with the bank for you.

However, you’d be liable for the losses due to fraud in this scenario

Congrats, OpenRouter is a great product!

I check it's model rankings and prices daily. The charts are great. Please never change!

On another note... I'm surprised OpenAI didn't buy them.

I'm even more surprised OpenAI is giving exclusive discounts on openrouter, essentially encouraging the few API customers they had onto a much larger, cheaper and richer marketplace.

I've been using OpenRouter since relatively early (I build evvl.ai - an eval platform on top of it) and think that they're selling at a good time. An underpinning of their model is that API calls / inference are similar across providers allowing for commodity tokenization cost comparisons, but the providers are beginning to shift to non commodity features that don't easily shift. For instance, calling Gemini with "se…

Could there be use cases where you want to run inference for users in your app, but don't want to host your own backend, user authentication, and billing?
