... really underestimated how hard it would be to pick one. Before launch, I was considering things like: Will users trust something that processes their messages with a model they have never heard of? What is the real uptime record, versus the claimed one? Do I go cheap/free , or pay more for something that will last longer? Self-hosted? Or just ride on someone else s frontier model and take their roadmap?
