Models with the widest provider price spread on OpenRouter
Request fragment that pins Wafer (wafer/us):
{"provider": {"order": ["wafer/us"], "allow_fallbacks": false}}Request fragment that pins DeepInfra (deepinfra/fp4/flex):
{"provider": {"order": ["deepinfra/fp4/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).
