{"provider": {"order": ["deepinfra/fp4"], "allow_fallbacks": false}}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).
