meta is building a competitor to OpenRouter (coming right after news openrouter might get acquired), but theres another reason meta's doing this:

> no more $100Ms wasted on inference. the platform would efficiently route ai prompts to multiple different models, saving on costs and produce better answers.
> brand new revenue stream: Meta's intention is to release this publicly for anyone to save money
> powerful new way to train their models: used internally, meta would create a very valuable dataset of how/when to use models for various purposes.
zuck's still in this race
