It just does Codex, and it does it well

I love that they didn't try to be everything. Sonnet support? Use someone else. For Codex completions in our IDE plugin, this is the cheapest route I've found that doesn't smell.

Refund actually worked

Asked for a refund on an accidental top-up. Got the money back in under a day, no email back-and-forth. Rare in this category.

Hope they survive

Single-product gateway is a fragile business model. But the founder is honest about it on Twitter, which counts for a lot. Watching closely.
