Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

If you're in the .NET ecosystem, this is the best AI integration SDK. Plugin architecture is clean and extensible.

45/100 · skip

No API, no self-hosting option, and the ensemble approach means your per-query cost is 3-5x a single model call. The benchmark numbers are compelling but I cannot integrate this into a product. Ship an API and I will reconsider.

Skeptic

Microsoft vendor lock-in disguised as open source. Everything points you toward Azure. Use provider-agnostic alternatives.

80/100 · ship

The benchmark result is legitimately impressive and the methodology is transparent. My concern is latency — querying multiple models and aggregating adds significant time. For research and high-stakes questions it is worth the wait. For everyday chat it is overkill.

Enterprise AI adoption will go through existing stacks. Semantic Kernel meets .NET developers where they are.

80/100 · ship

Confidence-weighted ensembling is the quiet breakthrough everyone is sleeping on. Individual models plateau — but smart aggregation keeps pushing the frontier. Sup AI scoring 52% on Humanity's Last Exam when no single model breaks 40% proves the thesis.
