alt Hacker NewsIs the Open in OpenRouter the same as in Open AI? I couldn’t find any repository or hosted code. Thought it'd be a open source, self hostable tool with a cloud offering but seems its just the latter?

The Open in OpenRouter is the same as in OpenSea, as it's the same founder. Make of that what you will.

Open as in single API layer which allows you to swap the model under it.
I assumed they were open source but now that I checked they are not, they say "Open" because they route to third-party open models. Yikes. Another VC crap layer?
