Unpinned range: input $0.02–$0.22, output $0.04–$0.287 across 4 providers (listing shows $0.05 / $0.08).

Models with the widest provider price spread on OpenRouter

{"provider": {"order": ["deepinfra/fp8"], "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).
