The real issue here isn't the total model count, but the actual usage rates for each one; most of them just sit there, adding to the noise. We need to focus on what models get called daily, not just what's available, because that's what impacts API costs and development cycles. For instance, if you're building a new app, you're not sifting through hundreds of models; you're looking for the battle-tested few that consistently deliver, even if that means a slightly higher per-call price.
