I think it has to be more than just a 'proxy' what Stripe bought.

Stripe and every other big company could build this without any issues.

It either is just a really stupid business decision or it is about the name. The only model proxy i know is OpenRouter despite plenty of other model proxies existing.

I wait for the moment where engineers realise there's more to a product than just the building aspect.

Sure if its not just about the name, then perhaps its the speed.

Nonetheless, just because someone payed that much money for it, doesn't has to mean antyhing.

It means at least, that there's something of value in the company worth that amount of money. Regardless of what it is.
