TNG infers Union Alpha is an AutoRouter routing layer

TNG's probe tests found timeouts varying by domain, widely fluctuating token counts, inconsistent knowledge cutoffs and alignment, and a 50x latency spread, leading it to conclude Union Alpha is a multi-backend auto-router.

We think that @OpenRouter's "Union Alpha" is a brain of brains, an AutoRouter. First of all, the riddle pattern echoes "Say 'friend' and enter", as it contains "union" in its name and it behaves like one: When faced with probing prompts that bypass caching... - the timeouts differ on topic/domain, looking like different models (or depths) are active per domain and are having different overload levels or are down; - the token counts are very very variable, one backend writes a sentence, the other an essay; - it seems to have many different knowledge cutoffs, which would correspond to different backends; - the alignment is variable like the moon, it refuses... or not, not just on "political issues", but also on very technical stuff; - latency has a 50x spread even on identical prompts. Cheers, TNG PS: If we're right, @unionalphaai, do we get an office tour 8)?
