At what valuation?

I’m a user and I like the routing layer and not having to change things up too much, but I’m not sure why a solid business model for this product would require this much money at this kind of valuation unless they’re trying to buy data center capacity to self-host models eventually?

Yes. Happy for the team but I do not like that this likely means for the future growth expectations as a customer. Hint: probably higher costs and being squeezed more.

1.3B$ according to NYT, according to Techcrunch:

> While the startup didn’t disclose its new valuation, The New York Times reports that it landed at about $1.3 billion post-money.
