Model routing should be visible before execution
A product boundary from the ChaseOS build: put managed Cloud, provider-owned keys and local models side by side — and show the cost of the managed path before a request is sent.
A useful product boundary from this week’s ChaseOS build: model routing should be visible before execution, not hidden in configuration.
The newest Studio QA state puts three choices side by side — managed Cloud, provider-owned keys, and local open-source models — and shows the usage context for the managed path before a request is sent.
The important limitation is equally visible. This is a test-account fixture, not a Cloud launch. Managed compute is not publicly available, the gateway plan-context change still needs deployment proof, and Studio sends account changes to the account page rather than purchasing anything itself.
That combination matters: make the convenient route understandable without demoting local models or keys the operator controls.
