Questioning Jev's Speed Pitch: Why Route Through OpenRouter and Add Latency?
deliprao · x · 2026-09-20
deliprao asks why anyone would route Jev through OpenRouter and add extra latency if Jev's selling point is speed and real-time use. He notes this is a non-issue for other OpenRouter model endpoints, implying a tension between Jev's positioning and going through an aggregator.
It is a concrete critique of model serving paths and latency trade-offs.
