I probably will never pay to Sakana, as they are involved in military contracts. https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/politics/defense-security/20...

I imagine if it was Deepseek partnering with the CCP it would be different?

I was just stating facts about Sakana, and that was enough to trigger you? For the same reason, I don’t use GPT either. At least for now, DeepSeek has no ties to the defense sector. And don’t talk as if the CCP were the devil. The U.S. president is the world’s biggest arms dealer, after all.

It's similar to this: https://openrouter.ai/blog/announcements/fusion-beats-fronti... Basically, if you combine a bunch of near-frontier models (like GPT 5.5, etc) you can get performance that sometimes surpasses top line models like Claude's Fable. Sakana seems to have a separate approach using a domain specific model to perform the model routing step.

But it's priced the same as frontier models. Why do I not directly pay for frontier models?

u get a pool of them + sakana?

And yet, as per usual...

Many people here spent a lot more than $300 on headphones long before AirPods appeared.

Those were hobbyists, audiophiles, professionals, artists (recording, performing, etc.). They are talking about a much larger group of people.

I think OP meant noise-cancelling headphones, which were fairly ubiquitous in tech circles in open offices; before Apple launched AirPods.

Anthropic was very much willing & involved in U.S. military contracts before the falling out with the DoD. OpenAI is actively involved.

Maybe. But for now it's fascinating how $200/month has kind of become a normal tier. It's similar to how AirPods normalised all of us having $300+ headphones. All of us would have scoffed at the idea a decade ago.

The Sony WH-1000XM series and the Bose QC35 were the standard quality headphones years before AirPods were a thing, and both retailed at $300+.

Of course, premium headphones existed before. I have a WH-1000XM4 sitting right next to me.

But your aunt Josie didn't have one. Now Apple is selling 80 million units / year and the ~$300 price tag has become normal. Before that, most people had headphones that were 10 times cheaper.

Like every company based in China they are under the control of the Chinese state, which is an armed entity known to use violence.

Or use openrouter and switch to model you want to use..(i think so)

Or TrustedRouter if you want privacy and open source

You ought to realize that shilling your product in the comments doesn't exactly come across as trustworthy.
