UnverifiedAPI-only access and open-source weights are fundamentally different: the former keeps users perpetually dependent on the vendor's servers with no control over the model itself.76% similarUnverifiedVendors can achieve differentiated deployment by routing requests to different model service endpoints based on user identity at the API gateway or load balancing layer, or by injecting different system prompts for users of different tiers.73% similarUnverifiedExcessive reliance on external APIs from OpenAI, Anthropic, and others carries vendor lock-in risks, as the API interfaces, prompt strategies, and output characteristics differ significantly across models, making migration costs far higher than those of traditional cloud services.73% similarUnverifiedAPI relay services essentially establish a proxy layer between the user and the original model provider, reducing latency through request forwarding, load balancing, and cache optimization.73% similarUnverified第三方免费代理服务的API速率限制往往比官方更为严格，且受多用户共享带宽影响72% similar
