How I built a simple AI router to avoid vendor lock-in and costs

I've been working on a side project that needs AI for a few different tasks: answering user questions, generating image captions, and summarizing chat threads. At first, I just picked one provider (OpenAI) and called it a day. But after a month, two things became painfully clear: first, not every model is great at every task, and second, the bill was climbing fast because I was using GPT-4 for everything. So I did what any reasonable developer would do: I started swapping API keys by hand. I'd comment out one import and uncomment another, deploy, test, get frustrated, rinse and repeat.

Leveling Up Observability: SLO Rollup and Grafana Dashboards in Hermes-Memory-Installer

UK Healthcare AI Is Running Wild — And The Industry Wants It Fixed

The UK wants to build the "most AI-enabled healthcare system in the world." That ambition is noble. The problem is that the regulations meant to keep that AI safe and effective are, by the industry's own assessment, fundamentally broken. A new report from the MHRA's National Commission on the Regulation of AI in Healthcare — based on responses from 761 stakeholders including NHS bodies, industry, academia, and patient groups — delivers a damning verdict on the current framework. Seven in ten respondents disagreed or strongly disagreed that existing regulations are sufficient on safety and perf
