That looks absolutely horrifying. What are the alternatives ??
great post, I just put $100 in credits on open router to try different models, I think maybe using the "real" provider is the way forward once I've spent my credits and decided which one I want (for now).
I noticed some strange behavior when I was setting it up to avoid providers that collect data, hence blocking default providers. Definitely it is worth filtering well tested providers, which is a feature OpenRouter provides.
Wish this had more insights on 'cost' - I found OpenRouter credits to burn up fast.
Yes
Good job

Excellent post, thanks for the article. This is very relevant for anyone using openrouter and similar services seriously.
I feel there is still a lot of progress to be made before we can really trust LLM providers.
