Plenty of providers on that list aren't fly-by-nights and have easily proven themselves in past models. Jeremy Howard does demos on Fireworks.

A nice thing about open router is you can specify filters, like "US hosting without data retention"

Yes, something I read just before it was released suggested that, because of the unique features of the model, there was a back and forth of Hugging Face, Moonshot and providers like Together AI and Fireworks AI. This also explained why it took much less than a day for Together, Fireworks etc to appear. Whatever they are doing is what Moonshot wants, I think.

Do any support the smaller context for better pricing?
