Routstr adds Jev. The operator still matters.
The classifier can now be paid for in sats. In the discussion around its arrival, redshift spells out what users still have to trust about a provider.
Routstr announces that Jev is available through its service. The post describes a fast, inexpensive classifier, names the model as jev-latest and says it is live on one node at the time of the announcement. Access is through an updated routstrd client or the project’s SDK.
Redshift supplies the price pitch: A single sat can get you 20-50 requests.
That is the provider’s stated rate, rather than a benchmark performed by this paper.
Juraj describes the attraction as a competitive market for model access: fund Routstr’s internal Cashu wallet over Lightning, then pay for calls without a subscription or credit card.
The reply underneath is more revealing than the launch slogan. Redshift explains that providers are currently enabled by redshift: Your routstrd (client) doesn't automatically pick up any Routstr node from Nostr.
Users can enable or disable nodes. In redshift’s account, they still trust a provider to serve the model it claims to serve, avoid logging requests and refrain from inserting hostile instructions. Automatic selection using information from Nostr is described as the eventual goal.
In a separate reply, redshift points to a public node-audit page. The discussion leaves two tasks visible: making access cheap enough to experiment with, and giving users grounds to choose the operator handling those experiments.
