Openrouter will route to china hosted models when there are US hosted providers of the same model. Is there a setting to set your preference or to blacklist providers like alibaba cloud for example?
I use OpenCode and the openrouter provider. From opencode I only select the model like kimi-2.6 and have no way of selecting which cloud hosting will receive my request.
