It’s not like you ever owned anything when you built something on top of these sorts of services.

I think it is clear that there is no point providing AI based services via 3rd party AI. Openrouter may even end up with a similar fate if the upstream providers make a similar ToS change. I’ve always thought of Openrouter as a useful tool for development and chat that lets me add a zoo of models quickly. Anything relatively close to production? Fix a model version and use a providers API, for as long as that’s supported.
