OpenRouter
OpenRouter is a unified API routing platform for large language models that provides a standardized interface for accessing models from multiple providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Users can invoke and switch between models through a single API endpoint. The platform supports model price comparison, usage tracking, and automatic fallback mechanisms, offering developers flexible model selection and cost management capabilities.
Core Facts
Muse Wonder is offered through the Meta Model API and Muse Code; Muse Wonder Full is for Muse Code subscribers.
Muse Wonder's API pricing is $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens, offered through Meta's coding service platform.
Mistral Large 4 is priced at approximately $0.68 per million input tokens and $2.09 per million output tokens, with a 50% discount for the first two weeks.
Timeline (last 90 days)
OpenRouter's fallback mechanism can automatically switch to a backup model when the primary model is rate-limited or unavailable, without requiring callers to modify their code.
While convenient, the OpenRouter gateway also introduces an extra layer of latency and a single point of dependency, and different upstream models do not fully agree on parameter support, so model capability endpoints (such as /images/models) need to be queried for adaptation.
The top four by 30-day average availability are Meta Llama API (99.986%), Anthropic Claude (99.985%), OpenRouter (99.985%), and Google Gemini (99.983%).
OpenRouter data for the past 30 days shows that the old version of DeepSeek Flash processed about 122 trillion prompt tokens and about 2.2 trillion completion tokens, a ratio of about 55:1, and most prompts were cache hits.
OpenRouter call records show that 117 of Jev Router's 118 calls were routed to GPT-6.1 Sol.
Glimpse's model name on OpenRouter is elorian/glimpse; endpoint data shows the provider is Together, the context window is 262,144 tokens, it supports text, image, and video input and outputs text, and the cached input read price is $0.06 per million tokens.
OpenRouter data shows a cache hit rate as high as 95.2% on DeepSeek's own endpoint.
OpenRouter's OpenAI compatibility is compatibility at the lowest-common-denominator level; vendor-specific inference parameters, structured output constraints or caching mechanisms may not pass through the aggregation layer unchanged.
OpenRouter bills by usage with a unified bill, so individual developers and small teams can try new models without committing to large quotas in advance.
OpenRouter is the best place to use the Perplexity Decider model (a single-source opinion from Twitter).
