FAQ

What changed this week?

What’s verified vs rumor?

Verified: first-party docs/changelogs. Rumor: unnamed “sources say” — label UNVERIFIED. No invented benchmarks.

Why gateways/cost matter?

Model churn without a stable gateway/abstraction layer raises re-eval cost and vendor stickiness. Identity/tenant control stays a separate plane (Auris) — not a ranking claim.
