alt Hacker NewsWould it be possible to get "raw" access to the provider APIs, but still keep the consolidated billing? The unified API is great when it works, but it often causes hassle with more exotic use cases and new API features.

Interesting. Will look into it! We are releasing pass through API params soon which might hit the bid, but is a bit different than what you are describing.

i second this, And I think this will only get worse as the bigger companies seek to decommoditize their models and make moats
+1 this. Example: Using Mistral TTS voice cloning appears to be not possible via the "providers" pass-through object in the OpenRouter API because some parameters are always forwarded which conflict with the provider's parameters.
