This is not about routers at all. I was expecting a comparison of models that run OpenWRT or similar. What exactly is an LLM router and why would I use it? Most prices on this page are negative or 0 with tons of significant digits. How does that help?

OpenRouter is a service that lets you access many different LLMs (like OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) through one interface. This site makes pricing comparison easier, which isn't straightforward on the OpenRouter site itself. The $0 price means that the model inference is currently free.

Thanks for the feedback, I've added filter out free models anyway.

That filter isn't entirely working for me - screenshot here: https://gist.github.com/simonw/f6614ef90f670818106f1d1a48212...

It's still showing models with $0.0000 as the price even after I selected "Hide free".

This is awesome! We could have a great service if we joined forces, I just posted about my tool - quip which is a GUI for OpenRouter!

OpenRouter already has a GUI chat. What’s different?

I am very confused by this whole product. I also don’t understand how it is different than the models page on openrouter’s website
