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: $0.917 / $6.00 · Morph (morph/fp8)

Unpinned range: input $0.917–$2.28, output $6.00–$11.40 across 2 providers (listing shows $1.084 / $6.00).

No endpoint in this reading sells at the listing price.

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

  • Listing price $2.28 / $11.40 → $1.084 / $6.00 (input −52%, output −47%).

Models with the widest provider price spread on OpenRouter

Request fragment that pins Morph (morph/fp8):

{"provider": {"order": ["morph/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).

Assumption: 3 steps; initial input 50,500 tokens; growth 2,500 tokens/step; visible output 1,000 tokens/step. Month: 14,600 tasks. No hidden reasoning or retries.

Warm-cache saving: $0.098 per task. Dashed outline: the no-cache bill.

Assumption: first-step cache fraction 75%; earlier context is read again and new context is written. All calls stay within the cache lifetime.

Formula: sum of input, output, cache reads and cache writes × their published rates / 1M. Each step uses its own context tier. Missing cache or batch prices are Unknown.
