I'm conflicted on what Mozilla is doing here. On the one hand, it is nice that they are getting involved but com'on, dont you all have Firefox to work on?

This is a classic case of an over enthusiastic engineer who says yes / raises hand to everything, but doesnt do any one thing properly. At some point, you have to sit down and tell them to focus on one thing and do it properly.

Mozilla spun up a whole new entity (Mozilla.ai) to do AI stuff, so doing AI stuff outside of Firefox is already baked into the equation, whatever you think of this particular thing.

They're dumping competition on two other open source python libraries LiteLLM and simonw's llm. Unlike these two, Mozilla's any-llm doesn't have to make money. I'm sure simonw will be welcoming because he's a friendly kind of guy, but it might seem frustrating to LiteLLM which has a paid offering, for which they'd prefer organic competition rather than whatever magic 8 ball Mozilla uses.

		I don’t think those are comparable. simonw's llm Has a python SDK, but it’s very much CLI first. Light LLM is very much about the SDK. You can wrap some agent SDK’s around it, like Gemini, but that’s for agents not work flows. I can’t really think of them as in the same category.
