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: $0.025 / $0.12 · Darkbloom (darkbloom/int4)

Unpinned range: input $0.025–$0.07, output $0.12–$0.20 across 5 providers (listing shows $0.07 / $0.20).

Models with the widest provider price spread on OpenRouter

Request fragment that pins Darkbloom (darkbloom/int4):

{"provider": {"order": ["darkbloom/int4"], "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: $0.0042 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.
