OpenRouter providers who serves this model through OpenRouter, at what price

OpenRouter sends a call without a pinned provider to one of these endpoints, and each endpoint has its own price. Prices are USD per 1M tokens, input / output.

Pinned min: $0.256 / $0.712 · DeepInfra (deepinfra/fp4/flex)

Unpinned range: input $0.256–$0.32, output $0.712–$1.0287 across 3 endpoints of 2 providers (listing shows $0.32 / $0.89).

Price moves of 20% or more since the reading of 8 Nov 2026:

  • Listing price $0.2574 / $1.0287 → $0.32 / $0.89 (input +24%, output −13%).

Models with the widest provider price spread on OpenRouter

Request fragment that pins DeepInfra (deepinfra/fp4/flex):

{"provider": {"order": ["deepinfra/fp4/flex"], "allow_fallbacks": false}}

With fallbacks turned off, OpenRouter does not move the call to another provider. A full endpoint tag pins that endpoint; the provider name alone covers all of its endpoints (OpenRouter provider routing).
