Congrats, OpenRouter is a great product!

I check it's model rankings and prices daily. The charts are great. Please never change!

On another note... I'm surprised OpenAI didn't buy them.

I'm even more surprised OpenAI is giving exclusive discounts on openrouter, essentially encouraging the few API customers they had onto a much larger, cheaper and richer marketplace.



Cynically, I suspect oAI is subsidizing OR tokens to manipulate perceived traction, since OR usage stats get widely publicized


What exactly does this mean? You can verify the pricing differences from their official API vs. OpenRouter.

If you have some grand conspiracy, you should be able to validate it. Yes, on occasion, OpenAI has offered Discounts on their API.
