I opened the page looking for a differenciator, but everything about the project is AI-written (including author replies in these comments).

I think your definition is closer. I would instead look at Bell Kiosk as a good example of someone doing the digital equivalent of brutalism

There's a sizeable amount of us. I finally had the battery changed in my 13 Mini a few months ago. I don't want a larger phone.

The Duo has the same diagonal as a Mini when closed (5.4"), so I'd love to see them eventually embrace that size and release a 7:5 ratio SE or something similar.

I'm sure it's not that, but I'm picturing Elon Musk again unplugging random machines in the datacenter, and hiring dudes in a pickup to move them.

I don't even know if this reply is sarcastic or not, because it perfectly caricatures the constant hyperbolic AI claims, along with their absence of proof.

I find GLM's idea of fast/flash is not really competitive with the speed DS4 Flash has, and it's hard to see them as being in the same segment for that reason.

Lalabadie — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 18:14:15 +0000

I get where it's coming from, I like Stripe's long-stated mission ("To increase the GDP of the Internet").

This version is dumb/empty, and reads like brown-nosing Stripe.

With Deepseek as the provider, there's no issue of course, but that means you don't filter providers for data retention, and you could also choose direct API use with them at that point.

In my experience, that's the OpenRouter tax. Even a session that does everything right to remain sticky ends up getting moved between providers on a few requests, which bills you the full context as input every time the switch happens.

I assume it's done as load balancing/latency mitigation, but it's put me off of OpenRouter for my use cases (limited use, limited need for changing models).

That's true, though it's worth noting that Banksy's pest control – the people who certify that an artwork is legitimate – will always identify anything not meant to be sold as a fake, so resale is a lot more limited than anything meant for galleries and auctions.

The author's website is responsible for storing its own data. AI services currently treat the entire web as their storage and cache layer.

You replied "Letting perfect be the enemy of good" several times in the comments here. I think the sentence works against the arguments you're making:

Perfect is the promise of a climb-everywhere-wheelchair. It's hypothetical, dreamed up, and causing people to forego the immediate and good solution (ramps).

It's been good for one-off cases in my limited experience. I would describe its behaviour as Sonnet-shaped, if that makes sense to you. Good answers but it often decides to reason a lot about simple things before getting to an output.

At the speed Flash has on most providers, it doesn't really turn into a latency concern.

Anecdotal data from my own tests: allow only one provider if you want good cache usage on OR. 80 cents is probably 4x the price you should have paid.

Providers' cache hit stats are available to consult, and only 1-2 of them behave properly if I remember correctly, zero if you request providers that don't store and train on sessions.

Opencode also have a ZDR (zero data retention) deal with them – if I recall correctly, that's not something you can enable as an individual DeepSeek subscriber.
