Such initiatives are very much welcome and I am happy to to start using them. However, my issue is that it appears that many of these models are simply proxied from the specific cloud provider with fees attached which does not bring a lot of value given the 5% surcharge.

Since all frontier models are owned by US companies, I think better alternative is to focus on open source models only that run on EU data centers owned by EU companies. That will be something.

The point is also that you don't have to sign up for AWS, and GCP, and Azure, and Alibaba, and Nebius…

And, more importantly, that you can use the existing OpenAI SDK for your language but swap models (even across providers) by changing one line of code.

You're paying for convenience, yes, but model routers solve a real problem.

There are some html rendering issues on the pricing page. I will check it out once fixed.

models run on EU servers so it never leaves the EU.

AWS has EU data centers too. That is not the problem. The problem is the CLOUD ACT.

all frontier models are not owned by US.

Which are not? There are Chinese models that are only months behind, which is impressive -- but they are still behind.

Not that much, though, and the gap seems diminishing every couple of months.

Let's hope this trends only continues. A few months behind is not such a big deal. That being said, a few months = a year with these models.

Yup, agreed -- it's amazing how close they are getting! I was just wondering if there was some true frontier non-US model that I'd missed.
