They lost me here. Too many counterexamples exist for me to even continue.

Kubernetes vs AWS?

  • > Kubernetes vs AWS?

    How is this even a direct comparison? Most companies I know of which use Kubernetes are using it on a cloud provider. Even if it's kubernetes on EC2 rather than hosted e.g. EKS, those companies are also happy to use lock-in services like RDS and S3.

Here is a counterexample to whatever counterexample you have in mind -

Most popular models on OpenRouter right now: https://openrouter.ai/models?categories=programming&order=mo...

Top 7 are all open models.

  • There very little reason to use OpenRouter to access closed models, instead of just using the provider directly.

    • One big reason I can think of is to avoid vendor lock-in. This is why most enterprises use a multi-cloud setup, despite the increased complexity.
