The article says that these were Azure IPs being used by OpenAI, so you’ve probably already blocked whatever they’re doing here.

I suspect there are very few examples of it when they are as entangled and invested in them as Nvidia is in OpenAI.

> but not UK or others wanting to leave.

I don't think there are any others wanting to leave after Brexit! Politicians like Le Pen don't campaign to leave any more.

The AFD is openly campaigning on it and they are currently the most popular parti in Germany.

The French RN is not openly campaigning on leaving anymore since its pretty scary to the voters but the intention of Le Pen is to hold a referendum to ask the French people to recognize the supreme rule of French law above EU law which would act as a soft exit since that means that France would no longer be bound by directives and other regulations which it doesnt agree with.

The other major parti France unbowed is even more direct and wants to set "fire" to some of the debt which would most likely trigger a Euro/Eu crisis and force either the ECB to bail out France or force France out of the Euro.

It's become serious in German, Austria, and Czechia. The sentiment in France is not insignificant either.

I hear a lot about how the UK has suffered after Brexit, but none of my experiences there support it. Not the people I talk to, not my own experiences from before vs. after. I think people _want_ it to be true, which I find ugly.

This seems like a no brainer, not sure how Cursor would expect to be trusted by any other company now that they’re owned by SpaceX.

I really get sick of this anti-Elon rhetoric around here. Can we not keep it to technical merits and not get sucked up into politics? The guy's clearly nuts, but he's also done an incredible amount of amazing things.

This isn't a technical article, though. It's about contracts, so one party's self-admitted habit of ignoring contractual obligations seems very relevant and not a random ad hominem.

I trust them more than someone who took a nonprofit designed to be open and had tens of millions in donations to do just that, and then turned into a for profit who's cuddled up tight with Microsoft and is so closed they're preemptively ending contracts with someone under pretty flimsy accusations. And doubly funny it's the person who's responsible for them even existing. And from whom they stole tens of millions

Isn’t the point with these open models that you find a provider with the right terms of use/data sovereignty for you and get it from them?

It’s really just a discussion of writing style though, which seems a bit weird to ban talking about.

I do think people are understandably much more comfortable talking negatively about a writing style if they don’t think it’s a person.

I guess it’s the same as how I’d never want to respond poorly to an issue or PR by someone with poor English skills, but might if it’s AI slop.

If developers are choosing Claude when given unlimited access to both, then any executive who tries to force them to Codex is really stupid.

"when given unlimited access to both" is carrying a lot there.

One may as well say "given unlimited budget".

yes in an ideal world, in business world its all wine dine, contracts, costs savings.

perhaps all the companies should dump teams and use slack.

Nobody would trust one of the labs that have their own models with this. They’d assume they’re taking all the data, and biasing the routing to favour themselves. xAI would probably be the least trusted, but the same would apply for any of them.

Sofas → Swedish place names

Bookshelves → men's names

For Swedes it must be weird to be able to find a product named after yourself and your place!

I’d have guessed they used names that Swedes were less likely to identify with than names of places and people.

Plenty of people named Billy in the English speaking world, too.

I don’t think that’s true. OpenAI docs don’t have this price change. I assume they’d be the source for this post if it was true. The banner on OpenRouter for me says Gemini 3.7 discounted for a limited time, but if I click through that I get to this page: https://openrouter.ai/models?discount=true

That shows a bunch of models, including Sol, with a discount. None of them say how long it’s for, but I’d assume in all their cases it’s for a limited time as the banner said, and only on OpenRouter.

OpenRouter margins are not 50%.

As I understand OAI is offering discount only for users using the model via OR. Not sure why. Maybe they want OR users to try the model and switch to OAI subscription or something.

It might also be worth noting that the discount is only if OpenAI itself is used as the provider via OpenRouter. The discount does not exist for Azure or Amazon hosted Sol.

I posted elsewhere, but the Azure uptime & performance for Sol is truly dire. OpenAI is offering 5x faster latency, 4x faster tokens generation, and vastly better uptime (Azure US has only 87% uptime), all for 50% of the price now. I assume the pricing is to compete with other shiny new models (Grok, Qwen etc), but it might also be to cut-off a truly poorly performing Microsoft hosting experience.

Yes, but this discount must be coming from OpenAI and not Open Router.
