    Really not trying to be cheeky... but why? Who is the audience here? I can see maybe academics with small grants.

    This doesn't solve or provide guidance for the subtle problems in these otherwise opensource solvers... The first example requires the client to manually disambiguate equivalent variables to get a stable solution... Sure that's a pretty common problem everyone working with optimizers should be familiar with but they're also one of the hardest things to track down in a complex derived model.

    looks interesting, how large problem can it solve?

      It seems to just be a wrapper over or-tools and other solvers from their landing page, with the difference being it run on their servers versus your hardware. Their website does not mention what hardware is allocated per model (which determine speed of solving) nor any limit on model size.

    Keep it simple, just one call to solve every model.

      *sigh* We really need to teach this new crop the term "no free lunch". Again.
