The jump from 63 to 668 models on OpenRouter sounds like a lot of hype, but what does that number really tell us about what changes for someone trying to use them?
Just counting more models doesn't mean they're all useful, stable, or affordable; it's like a school announcing more textbooks are available without confirming if they're actually in the classrooms or if teachers have been trained to use them.
We need to see real cash flow and practical benefits, like if my small business in Morocco could actually use one of these for customer service without it costing a fortune or breaking down every week.
Availability isn't the same as usability or impact; many could just be experimental projects with no real-world application for daily tasks.
