If you have been using Blablador the last two days, you might have noticed slowdowns and even timeouts in some models. The usage raised A LOT lately because of software agents. While the number of unique IPs is roughly similar to a couple months ago, usage per unique ip has raised dozens of times. Another issue is that all the latest models do the thinking before answering. This has been a PITA, given a simple “hello” might take dozens of seconds of the model thinking about its own life before answering. For those playing with OpenClaw and Opencode, ClaudeCode and so on, and feel upset with the response speed, we are doing our best on our side - we have been caching requests where possible and scrambling the queue and adding scale where we can - but in the end, we have limited hardware. If you are upset with this, there are free alternatives on OpenRouter. I checked and they have half a dozen alternatives which are free, so you might point your agent there. I’m sorry for that - we are working our ***** off to get the most juice out of our gpus! Alex
