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: $0.25 / $1.50 · Google AI Studio (google-ai-studio/flex)

Unpinned range: input $0.25–$0.90, output $1.50–$5.40 across 6 endpoints of 2 providers.

Models with the widest provider price spread on OpenRouter

Request fragment that pins Google AI Studio (google-ai-studio/flex):

{"provider": {"order": ["google-ai-studio/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).
