It's crazy that the title is largely clickbait because he's a Deepmind employee who reps Gemini AI Studio.

So if you're just gonna do a clickbait project...why pump the competition?

>What a weird thing to say. It's not a team sport where you support 'sides'.

It is if you have equity!

Yes, we host it ourselves, acting as the data processor which can be important for enterprise customers.

From developer experience, hosting them ourselves allows us to take advantage of our unique infra and deliver fastest time to first tokens of the providers.

I think a cheat code here is to route your requests to GCP's Vertex AI, which has stronger uptimes. Can use it as a fallback or main provider.

Caveats: 1) May not be economic for those on flat-rate Anthropic subscription plans 2) I work at Google.

The lock-in is around identity services, right?

Servicing the jobs-to-be-done of the core applications is pretty straightforward I think.

I'm not sure what keeps people locked in besides identity. Article doesn't really specify.

Negative, the Department of War was the predecessor to the Dept of the Army. There used to be a Secretary of the Navy and a Secretary of War, both of whom rolled up direct to the president.

Following post-WWII reorgs, the DoD was created and the Secretary of War became the Secretary of the Army, reporting to the Secretary of Defense.

Yes, I'd think Openshift with Kubevirt would be positioned to move in. Lots of Openshift in some of the sectors I've worked with so seems like a natural expansion.

I forgot about MSFT's ability to bundle Hyper-V though which seems to come up in this thread a lot.

Love the username.

what’s the point of upwork being a middle man in the transaction if they don’t assume any risk?
