A library doesn't randomly drop out of existence cause of "high load" or whatever and limit you to a some number of function calls per day. With local models there's no issue, but this API shit is cancer personified, when you combine all the frontend bugs with the flaky backend, rate limits, and random bans it's almost a literal lootbox where you might get a reply back or you might get told to fuck off.

Qwen has become a useful fallback but it's still not quite enough.
