Founder Iddo Gino tells host Damien Filiatrault how a GitHub repo called “Awesome APIs” became RapidAPI, a global marketplace later acquired by Nokia, and what sky-high valuations actually change credibility and hiring more than outcomes. He argues that instead of chasing new standards like MCP, teams should fix the REST/GraphQL APIs they already have with accurate specs and living docs. Gino then explains Datawizz, his new platform that routes requests to tiny, task-specific models and falls back to large LLMs only when needed, often cutting costs by 85–95% while improving latency and reliability. He details an OpenAI-compatible router, when volume justifies specialization, and how edge/on-device options, Cloudflare AI Workers, iOS’s built-in models with adapters, and Chrome’s Gemini Nano, unlock faster, cheaper, and more private inference.
