What you give up either way
- Access to whatever limited/negotiated model allotments Mono provides across many vendors
- Built-in polished multi-model selection heuristics and tuning
- Business features like SSO, team seat management, anonymization, and priority support
- Scale, reliability, and the aggregated catalog of many model vendors bundled under one subscription
- UI polish and cross-model usage quotas baked into the product
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Mono, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
