I find this a weird discussion at the current point.

Shouldn't be there a basic process for allowing such an API as a alpha people can play around with and then there will be adjustments?

No one will start using this in production if they don't have a very good and specific use case. I mean you don't just run 2gb ML models in your browser today on a massive scale.

There was such a process! They shipped as first Dev Trial around 2025-04, then Origin Trial in 2025-05. Since then a number of people tried it and gave lots of feedback, leading to model quality improvements, language support expansion, API additions like structured responses and tool use, etc. You can find a lot of feedback and case studies if you search around.
