"I don't see much substance to this buzz..."

Agreed. This isn't new. I led a research team at a Fortune 500 that used a transformer based classifier approach in a commercial product as far back as 2022 and we didn't come up with it. It was already common enough that we found the inspiration for our implementation on some web forum. Models like RouteLLM have been around for a long time. The news here isn't that a new model type came about, its that a large percentage of people messing around with this stuff that are new to AI just learned that not all transformer based implementations need to be autoregressive.

It doesn't have to be new, it just has to be consumable by devs.

You could send text before Twilio. You could process credit cards before Stripe.

Jev, at the end of the day is an easy to use API.

Everyone seems to forget that usability is a thing.

It took us a few hours to implement that one we used in 2022. This isn't about usability its about a huge population working on this stuff not really knowing what is available until it becomes a meme.
