## What the models said about Bunny.net

- "It's often recommended to avoid for systems where uptime and reliability are paramount" (Mistral Small, negative prompt, hard negative)
- "No-SLA/consumer tiers (Bunny.net, KeyCDN): Avoid for critical/production systems due to weaker guarantees." (Grok 4.1 Fast, negative prompt, soft negative)
