“The most mature AI API with the largest ecosystem. Function calling, JSON mode, and assistants API cover every use case.”

“Reliability has improved significantly. The ecosystem and tooling around OpenAI's API remain unmatched.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
