Rate limiting on free LLM APIs is usually where the pain lies. I've seen 5 concurrent reqs hit 20K/day limit in under 2 hours. Does anyone know a free API that still allows some reasonable concurrent requests?

One thing that always worries me with these acquisitions: how are they gonna handle the impending 5.6M+ Stripe Connect users who rely on OpenRouter's APIs? Will they integrate it into their core infrastructure or leave it as a separate product?

The real issue is that API providers log everything. OpenAI/Anthropic already capture full CoT traces in their logs — they just don't expose them. Distillation via API is just making explicit what they already have.
