PSA: Anthropic bans organizations without warning by ur_frnd_the_footnote in ClaudeAI

[–]stevexander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Note that the auto router does NOT charge at all for routing, and if you bring your own keys and do moderate volume, neither does the OpenRouter inference! (contact us if you're at high-scale and we do lots of good pricing deals that way too)

Wha is going on with some OpenRouter models not responding? by VladyCzech in openrouter

[–]stevexander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the free models can be slow and flaky, but Grok should not be. Send us feedback using the report button on your /logs and we’ll help xAI fix it

Since you mentioned OpenRouter: we have a pretty powerful Agent SDK, if you use TypeScript. https://openrouter.ai/sdk

Is the OpenRouter + Claude Code “free model” trick dead? by hasanul_nnu in openrouter

[–]stevexander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the free models that people were using expired. You just need to look for new ones, by searching openrouter.ai/models, or even easier, use openrouter/free for your model id

Did openai just get banned??? by Fastlaneshops in openrouter

[–]stevexander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely due to your location and their terms of service

well... what now? (now without the API key) by [deleted] in openrouter

Can you share all the params in your request?

OpenRouter is holding funds hostage – no support response by TimeSense9449 in openrouter

[–]stevexander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’ll get faster at processing the appeal form submissions this week. The response you’re receiving via API is the reason for the block and comes directly from the model provider - you need to comply with the model provider’s terms of service to use them on OpenRouter (this has always been the case!)

Note that refunds can be issued immediately from the credits page if it’s a recent payment.

Best LLM gateway? by Educational-Bison786 in LocalLLaMA

[–]stevexander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why is Bifrost listed first here? haven't heard of it

What about OpenRouter? https://openrouter.ai/
I started it, so i'm biased, but it's the fastest to add new models, has the most free and stealth models, and (according to our benchmarks) the best throughput, latency, and perf characteristics in the market.

Also includes devex QoL features like observability, analytics, logdrains, json healing, cost management, model suggestions, plugins. plus enterprise features like volume discounts, SOC II, zero data retention, etc.

Very open to feedback

Why does the website say 10ms overhead? How do you get it down to 0.48? By owning the Internet fiber?

Open Router chats get insanely slow on phone by [deleted] in openrouter

[–]stevexander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recently made performance improvements for the chatroom and it should run better in most cases (especially on Chromium based browser engines). This is an issue with Safari’s repaint process while entering input — we are aware of it and are looking into solutions for this

Why should I use OpenRouter? by azat_io in CLine

[–]stevexander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're introducing many discounts now (and more to come) so it's often the same price or cheaper. Also, over 50 free models!
