It's true that simply counting the growth of models from 63 to 668 on OpenRouter provides a useful observation, but it perhaps doesn't fully explain the deeper mechanisms or conditions that allowed for such a large expansion.
One might consider that while the tracking itself gives us a numerical outcome, it doesn't always detail the practical efforts or infrastructure changes that made it possible.
For example, when we track how many new services are accessible through FranceConnect, we also think about the system upgrades and staff training that were put in place to support them.
It may be worth considering what concrete steps or resources were deployed to integrate so many new models smoothly.
Understanding these underlying factors can help us appreciate the full picture, beyond just the raw numbers.
