Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths:- cost
- performance
- dx
- Depends on open-source model quality for non-proprietary selections
- Occasional capacity constraints on popular models
- Proprietary model access may be limited compared to dedicated providers
When to Use
Best when:- Want to use open-source models without managing infrastructure
- Cost-sensitive and need good quality at low price
- Need to fine-tune open models (LoRA/full, SFT/DPO)
- Want OpenAI-compatible API for easy migration
- Need GPU cloud for custom deployments
- Require guaranteed SLAs for mission-critical production
- Need exclusive access to frontier proprietary models
