It's been 2.5 years since ChatGPT came out, and so many projects still don't allow for easy switching of the OPEN_AI_BASE_URL or affiliated parameters.

There are so many inferencing libraries that serve an OpenAI-compatible API that any new project being locked in to OpenAI only is a large red flag for me.

Thanks for the feedback! Totally hear you on the tight OpenAI coupling - we're aware and already working to make BYOM easier. Just to echo what Zecheng said earlier: broader model flexibility is definitely on the roadmap.

Appreciate you calling it out — helps us stay honest about the gaps.
