How does this compare to being beholden to a single cloud providers like AWS or Google Cloud?
Has there been a sea change in how investors view these things in general, or is it only AI?
- solid_fuel 12d agoWell the big thing that stands out in the reliability front is that AWS and Google cloud are typically stable, certainly more than 3 nines. Meanwhile openai seems to roll dice on every request to see if they’re going to return a 500 or not.
- ozozozd 12d agoI can’t personally tolerate the AWS/GCP interfaces and clickops. But in terms of reliability - uptime, product, legal - they are in a different league. There were exactly 0 instances waking up to a product decision at AWS completely breaking your product or workflows.
- iainctduncan 11d agoOur clients do indeed see multi-cloud as a nice-to-have, but it costs so much more to do, and the big clouds are so trusted, that it's rare that I see it. On the other hand, nobody trusts the big AI companies not to pull shenanigans or dramatically raise prices... or even be in business in five years.
- spopejoy 11d agoI think openrouter is well on its way to being "big cloud". OpenAI/Anthropic not so much, at least as long as they bet the farm on incremental quality advances.
