ferran9908··on "No Vendor Lock-In" Is Code for "No Product"
Completely disagree.

I'm saying that you need to build a product good enough that the users feel like AI just "knows".

I'm not talking about capabilities at all.

fwiw, people genuinely have model fatigue.

If you look outside the code/tech bubble, no one really cares.

I think you should just use what you like

Exactly, there are so many use cases that involve the model provider being really, really good.

OpenCode literally has a different system prompt and base tool set for every model chosen.

Ngl, You kinda nailed it.

Yep, that's fair.

Just to be clear what I mean is we only care about the outcome of the job to be done and not the cost of these models themselves.

I gotta make it clearer going forward.

I can guarantee that I hand wrote this and the inconsistencies that you pointed out are just quirks of the way I talk.

But I understand why it may feel that way.

I'm not a very avid writer but I'm starting to understand that the way we speak does not really translate well on paper directly.

Thanks for the feedback!

Ouch. Fair enough.

I'm not making the claim that everyone else has no product. I am making the claim, however, that people don't care about your model picker as long as the job gets done.

However, I do appreciate the feedback!
