I am just curious about the real work, not the flashy demo stuff.
To be honest, it has not been about picking the right model for us; they are all great in their own way. It has been everything about the model:
Managing auth and region-specific routing (US vs EU)
Keeping user context in sync across Redis, Postgres, file storage
Dealing with random failures that only happen in production, never in dev
Making sure nothing breaks when we swap one model out for another
Some days it feels like we re duct-taping 10 systems together just to answer one user request cleanly.
We have GPT 4.1 on PoliteAI
We just rolled out GPT-4.1 support on PoliteAI — alongside Claude, Gemini, Grok and others.
It’s been fun experimenting with multi-AI workflows in one space.
Have you tried it yet? Check it out on the PoliteAI app. I would be interested in hearing about your experience!
