HTTP Range doesn't have anything to do with allowing a client to select a subset of fields.
The Range header isn't for requesting a subset of a resource from the server?

Really? Hmm... where in the HTTP spec does it allow for returning an arbitrary subset of any specific request, rather than the whole thing? And where does it ensure all the results are keyed by id so that you can actually build and update a sensible cache around all of it rather than the mess that totally free-form HTTP responses lead to? Oh weird HTTP doesn't have any of that stuff? Maybe we should make a new spec, something which does allow for these patterns and behaviors? And it might be confusing if we use the exact same name as HTTP, since the usage patterns are different and it enables new abilities. If only we could think of such a name...
An HTTP Range request asks the server to send parts of a resource back to a client. Range requests are useful for various clients, including media players that support random access, data tools that require only part of a large file, and download managers that let users pause and resume a download.

Every time people post these 'gotcha' LLM failures, they never work when I try them myself.
E.g. ChatGPT has no problem with the surgeon being a dog: https://chatgpt.com/share/691e04cc-5b30-800c-8687-389756f36d...
Neither does Gemini: https://gemini.google.com/share/6c2d08b2ca1a
Isn't that Gemini 3 and not 2.5 Pro? But nondeterministic algorithms are gonna be nondeterministic sometimes.
Surely you've had experiences where an LLM is full of shit?

I don't think that is correct that's why most people use Cloudflare

It is both. Cf. "a response that stays within the boundaries of my rules"
Aren't all LLMs instructed to provide responses within the boundaries of their rules? How else could you have "rules"?
On flights with shitty wifi I have been running gpt-oss:120b on my macbook using ollama. Ok model for coding if you can't reach a good one.
Should be a bit faster if you run an MLX version of the model with LM Studio instead. Ollama doesn't support MLX.
Qwen3-Coder is in the same ballpark and maybe a bit better at coding
Agents use Apis that I will need to pay for and generally software dev is a job for me that needs to generate income.
If the Apis I call are not profitable for the provider then they won't be for me either.
This post is a fly.io advertisement
Because if you build an agent you'll need to host it in a cloud virtual machine...? I don't follow.

But where is the training set of good pelicans on bikes coming from? You think they have people jigging them up internally?
Assuming they updated the crawled training data, just having a bunch of examples of specifically pelicans on bicycles from other models is likely to make a difference.

Granted, due to OpenRouter's 5.5% surcharge, any enormous whales have a strong financial incentive to use the provider's API directly.
A "weekly active API Keys" faceted by models/app would be a useful data point to measure real-world popularity though.
They kinda have that already, no? https://openrouter.ai/apps?url=https%3A%2F%2Faider.chat%2F
