Poe

Hi everyone! A year ago, Poe was my go-to hub for trying the latest models. While I haven't used it as much lately, it's great to see they're still incredibly fast at supporting the newest models across all modalities—LLMs, voice, and multimodal. With their new API, some might ask: why not just subscribe to the models directly? I think the answer is similar to why you don't always self-host an open-source model. When Grok first launched, I tried building my own bot with it on Poe, and the official Poe-integrated version was far more stable and robust. Poe is essentially offering "Poe as a Service"—an optimized, reliable layer on top of the raw models. For any app that needs to switch between different models on the fly, I can't think of many better platforms.
