Ask HN: How do you choose your AI model?

I am experimenting with models other than Claude or OpenAI, using OpenWebUI connected to openrouter.ai and am overwhelmed by the choices. The descriptions all seem very similar and their relative pricing (even from the same vendor) looks at odds with how they present the capabilities. Is there a good intro / overview / decision matrix? How do you choose a model? Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49201952 Points: 2 # Comments: 0

How do you come up with an ideas for your SaaS?

I know it’s usually people who solve their own problems and then share it with the right community, but what if I couldn’t find any problems for myself because i already have solutions for them? Other niches are also seems to be closed for me, because I don’t know their problems as long as I’m not really into it?

It took me 148 days to earn my first dollar online

I​ made a small website using no code app builder to collect profitable micro saas ideas, I have been adding good small product manually from last year but nothing happened. 5 month back I started a channel on threads app and rebuild my website and started sharing those startup ideas on threads mostly as of now and got more than 2M views since then, in between I started a weekly newsletter and last week I got an email from cloudfare that my website has crossed 100k views in total. This month,...

Is post-call AI enough anymore?

We have been looking at AI tools for our support team over the last few months and one thing keeps bothering me, of course every tool hade its pros and cons. A lot of platforms are great at dashboards. They'll show you where agents struggled. They'll flag low CSAT calls. They'll point out compliance issues. But all of that happens after the conversation is over. By then the customer has already had a bad experience. The bigger our support volume gets the less useful that feels. Knowing we had 20...

First customer that isn't my Friend! :)

What a feeling! It has been so long since I opened Stripe that IOS decided to auto off load the application from my phone. I was checking how many visitor have I recieved today and in events saw that someone has clicked on, I open Stripe and there it is first ever real customer. 1 customer is worth 1000 visitors, this is all the validation I needed. It feels weird and amazing, and also motivating! I cannot wait to work more and scale. I wish all my SaaSers their first and many custome...

I never thought I'd be the one making a post like this, but I'm running out of time.

I don't usually post personal things online, especially not like this. If you can't help directly, maybe an upvote, a share, or pointing me toward someone who might be hiring could help this reach the right person. I'd really appreciate it. I got laid off a couple of months ago, and despite applying every day, reaching out to people, and trying just about everything I can think of, I'm down to about one month of savings . The hardest part is that I don't think I'm bad at what I do. I've...
