TensorZero is a free, open-source tool that helps you build and improve large language model (LLM) applications by using real-world data and feedback. It gives you one simple API to connect with all major LLM providers, collects data from your app’s use, and lets you easily test and improve prompts, models, and strategies. You can see how your LLMs perform, compare different options, and make them smarter, faster, and cheaper over time—all while keeping your data private and under your control. This means you get better results with less effort and cost, and your apps keep improving as you use them[1][2][3].

#Policy_Brief: Coercion Over Consent: #Ethiopia’s dangerous mandatory Digital ID experiment
In this policy brief, Mohamed A. argues that Ethiopia's mandatory Digital ID (#Fayda) is a "flawed and dangerous policy," not because identification itself is problematic, but because enforcement lacks legal safeguards. He emphasizes that centralizing sensitive data risks turning governance into a tool of "surveillance, control, and exclusion."
According to him, Ethiopia is "importing the concept as if it were a proven model." In Ethiopia's fragile institutional context, this amounts to "recklessness disguised as modernization," especially with foreign funding raising unresolved questions about "who controls the data."
The author urges authorities to "pause enforcement" until trust and oversight are established, arguing that without them, mandatory ID is "not progress—it is a poorly designed and dangerous policy."
