Show HN: Lunon – Instant model switching across LLMs

lunon.com

7 points by johnmcelhone 7 days ago

Hey HN! We built Lunon to make LLM development way less of a headache. Ever wanted to see how different models handle the same prompt without all the setup hassle? That's what we fixed.

Our API lets you compare Claude, GPT, Mistral and others in real-time with just a few lines of code. No more complex infrastructure or managing multiple API connections - we handle all that boring stuff behind the scenes.

Plus, you can cut costs by intelligently routing requests to the right model for each task. Use the powerful (expensive) models only when you really need them.

If you're building with LLMs and tired of the integration headaches, would love to hear feedback!

This seems super amateur and your privacy policy sucks compared to OpenRouter. Also it's weird you have time to respond to trivial questions but not questions like "why would I use this over the entrenched leader in this space".

No docs or info without signing up, confusing Grok and Groq, and claiming you have access to o4 models which haven't been released makes this look like an incredibly unserious offering.

    You are correct, of course, but do you think your comment would be better received if you presented it as constructive feedback? e.g.

    Consider enhancing your privacy policy to match industry standards, similar to OpenRouter. Focus on addressing significant questions, like how your product stands out from established competitors. Ensure there’s no confusion between Grok and Groq. Also, verify the availability of features like access to o4 models to avoid any misunderstandings.

      Who cares if it’s better received? They are lying about model access and incorrectly identify the producers of AI models. This business seem to be made by unserious people and sounding the alarm is the correct thing to do.

      I considered being polite but the fact OP had already chosen to not answer these actual questions makes me question why anyone would trust this site with their payment data or even personal data.

Nice webpage/design, but what is the advantage over Openrouter that already has ~trillions tokens/month in traffic?

neat idea. random tiny piece of site feedback: make the hero backgrounds dark so that the text is legible as the image loads in.

more constructively, this is the kind of code ai is great at writing in my codebase and once it’s there locally as a library, it’s free. it’s not clear to me why I’d want it behind an api instead, at least as a solo-ish dev. I’d recommend looking at the similar openrouter that seems to have some traction and think about why users are using them. You might also think about deeper agent or eval stuff you could add that are beyond the scope of the little backend switching lib I could have Claude write. Anyway, good luck and thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for the feedback! Will work on some updates for the hero backgrounds.

    On your point about local code vs. API:

    - We handle all the authentication, rate limiting, and API differences between providers, which becomes complex when working with multiple models. Our platform allows smart switching between different models depending on the message context.

    - Our switching is optimized for performance. We provide detailed usage analytics and cost management across models so you can optimize which models to use where. This allows you to see what costs your users may be incurring / misbehaving.

    We're building features that go beyond what's easily replicable locally, including some of the agent and evaluation capabilities you mentioned (rolling out over the next two weeks). OpenRouter is definitely doing great things in this space. We're taking a slightly different approach by focusing on bringing customization within the dashboard to allow for on-the-fly updates without pushing new code edits.

    Appreciate the feedback and hopefully you get a chance to try out the tool!

Front page says "Antrophic" rather than "Anthropic" :)

Some people may also find the grok/groq section confusing

  • johnmcelhone 7 days ago

    That was my bad - just fixed that mistake. Thanks for catching it!

    Will explore some more ideas for the Groq & Grok part too.

Do you have access to o4 models as your website suggests? I didn’t realise that they had finished training yet.

You have early access to the o4 models?

Nice websites but seriously,

A. a pricing link that takes you to NOT pricing B. listing Grok and Groq in the same block as if they have anything to do one another is a bad choice

  • johnmcelhone 7 days ago

    Didn't catch the pricing bug, will update right now.

    A few others have also mentioned about the Grok & Groq confusion. Will think through some ideas here and update.

    Appreciate the feedback!

cool designs. how is it different to OpenRouter or PortKey? are you targeting different use cases? and what kind of analytics do you offer/what specifically are you tracking?

Gotta fix the typo on Anthropic's name
