<p>OpenRouter performs much, much better than LiteLLM proxy. 
In my experience, if OpenRouter offers a model, the API will be supported. They also often have inference providers available that will perform much better than the default provider. Just as an example, Z.ai is sitting at around 10 token/s for GLM 5.1 while friendly is doing 70 token/s for the same model through OpenRouter.<p>LiteLLM proxy also adds quite some overhead as well.<p>I have personally settled on a mix of Bifrost as my router which connects to OpenRouter or some other providers that I deem more privacy friendly.</p>

<p>Plenty of other providers that offer much faster inference on GLM-5.1. Friendli, GMICloud, Venice, Fireworks, etc. And can be deployed through Bedrock already as well. Will probably be available generally in Bedrock soon, I would guess.</p>

<p>I don't disagree at all.<p>I am merely commenting on your takeaway that this somehow means that some cultures see schizophrenia as "friendly", which does absolutely does not follow from the fact that the "mostly, the voices are good".<p>I would also think that this is likely due to cultural differences and in many cases probably adds to the problem.<p><a href="https://doi.org/10.3109/09540261.2012.711746" rel="nofollow">https://doi.org/10.3109/09540261.2012.711746</a><p>From the full Article:<p>"People suffering from psychotic illness continue to hold multi-explanatory models. The cultural, religious and social explanatory models are predominant in non-western cultures."<p>"Limited evidence suggests that traditional belief models affect [duration of untreated psychosis], and explanatory models based on spiritual and social causes of illness may result in delayed presentations for professional help."</p>

<p>> To this point, some cultures see schizophrenia as friendly, not scary.<p>That should not be your conclusion from the article.<p>"the voices" are hardly the only symptom that people with schizophrenia suffer from. A lot of those affected don't have auditory hallucinations at all and are still suffering from one of the (if not the) most debilitating mental disorders out there.<p>Calling it "friendly" risks trivialising of the very real symptoms.</p>

<p>You are aware that ty has only recently entered beta status?<p>Ruff isn’t stable yet either and has evolved into the de facto standard for new projects. It has more than double the amount of rules than Pylint does. Also downloaded more than 3 times as often as Pylint in the past month.<p>Pylint has some advantages, sure, but Ruffs adoption speaks for itself. Pylint is 25 years old. You’d hope they do some things better.<p>Saying that uv is their only winner is a hilarious take.</p>

<p>I guess you could say that. 
There are frameworks such as swift-cross-ui, but I couldn’t tell you anything about their maturity.<p>I don’t think CLI and GUI applications are the only software people write. Swift is a great backend language.</p>

<p>I would disagree. I would never activate a feature that down-ranks or hides results based on some ominous judgement on quality by a Kagi team. 
For AI Slop its pretty easy to determine because it is <i>always</i> lows quality and useless content that provides zero value and is a waste of time. The guidelines as specified also allow for some margin or error here I would argue.</p>

<p>They could have just left out Article 8. Its a “no interference by a public authority unless it want’s to.”
“Well-being of the country”, “protection of health or morals” are terms that make this statute irrelevant and dependent on the current mood of the EU.<p>Privacy needs to be an absolute right. Any invasion of privacy of any individual is a violation of their rights and needs to be treated as such with actual repercussions following misconduct.</p>

<p>I appreciate your reply. Psychotic disorders are absolutely debilitating and any stigma and invalidation towards those is just as shameful. I understand your reaction and I apologize if I was being a little too confrontational. I guess we both share a similar history of stigmatization.</p>

<p>These disorders don't exist on the same spectrum. There is no point in comparing the two. Both can be absolutely debilitating. People that feel the need to compare severity of disorders like you do actively contribute to the stigma and invalidation of severe disorders. Tell the families of the more than 700k people that commit suicide every year that "depression is very mild by comparison". 
An absolutely ignorant comment.</p>
