Ecosystem -98%, $20m treasury gone. Any other founders would have quit.

Time is literally the only thing you don’t get back!
This is why competition leads to much better outcomes for customers and consumers, in general
If it was not for GPT-5.6 released a few days ago, Anthropic would have most likely removed Fable from most paid plans, and charged $$$ for access
But with GPT-5.6 out, they cannot
Every agent request and response passes through the model gateway. So why is it still just a proxy?
Routing, fallbacks, PII redaction, tracing, evals, A/B tests, budgets and policy should all live at this layer.
We’re reimagining the gateway—for any model.
You’re supposed to use every unfair advantage you have. Connections, looks; money, all of it.
You're not noble by picking the hardest path just to look like an underdog.
