Why do developers rank AI models like Greek gods?

It's our brain's shortcut — coherent text triggers social instincts, so we personify LLMs. Fun for chats, fatal for code.

How to avoid AI model vendor lock-in?

Abstract with routers and benchmarks. Treat models as pluggable commodities, not soulmates. Test swaps monthly.

Benchmark on your exact prompts and metrics. Forget vibes — chase cost-per-task and reliability.

🤖 AI & Machine Learning
