This is such a good write up, WebRTC is one of the coolest things ever! It's kinda genius to use the VIP approach, SFU is also pretty scalable but now they dont even have to do that

Mistral is playing the long game here ngl, lower sized models, lower costs, overall good enough performance!

The songs it generates is so corporate music pilled and generic, it has no creativity of its own and even if we try to make it do something creative, it generates the same EDM style beat with no taste, well I guess stock music users rejoice, you dont need to use stock music anymore, you can create endless stock music

Yes, it's just a random long password used to access public APIs

Ideally API key shouldn't contain anything regarding the account or any info right? it's meant to be an opaque string, is what I found in most of the other articles I read. Please do let me know if I am wrong about this assumption

yes, you are right onei, it is supposed to be random string instead of hex, I am sorry I made that mistake
