SIDE BY SIDE
Available versus planned.
These are availability differences, not competing quality scores.
| What matters | Released API | Open-weight roadmap |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Public API at launch | Future roadmap item |
| Local execution | Not applicable | Not verified |
| Pricing | Check provider | Not established |
Before you use it.
Check current provider pricing and output settings before comparing costs. No local hardware requirement applies to API use.
What the evidence shows
BFL’s quality comparisons are internal evaluations. Its roadmap mentions open weights, but this brief does not treat that as a downloadable release.
