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: $2.00 / $6.00 · Amazon Bedrock (amazon-bedrock/global)
Unpinned range: input $2.00–$4.00, output $6.00–$12.00 across 6 endpoints of 2 providers (listing shows $2.00 / $6.00).
Models with the widest provider price spread on OpenRouter
Request fragment that pins Amazon Bedrock (amazon-bedrock/global):
{"provider": {"order": ["amazon-bedrock/global"], "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).
All endpoints (6), by input price

- Calculated Extra input billed: about 1,224 tokens more than the typical count for the same short request (1,599 billed against 375 across the models we test).
- Hidden reasoning tokens are billed as output, at the output price, even though they are not part of the answer.
- Observed Billed by the provider: the cost xAI states in its own API response to our test request, next to our estimate from the published prices.
- Through OpenRouter, the request goes to the named provider; the price and speed can differ from the direct API.
