OpenAI is making some really boneheaded moves these days. They're reacting instead of leading, basically. Cutting API prices 50% while millions of your paying subscribers have had their limits slashed and are all literally looking at the salivatingly-cheap chinese API prices availalbe on openrouter... Not only did OpenAI and all of their cash somehow MISS the opportunity to purchase OpenRouter ... Now they're giving…

That's some bonehead take. For very starter, neither the other AI companies nor the customers will trust OpenRouter if it's owned by OpenA. It'd be squeezed to death from both sides. The only reasonable way for OpenAI's investors to have a share of OpenRouter is to invest directly, not via OpenAI.

Yeah, sorry, skill issue. If you let AI run wild (if one session is $680 yeah it ran pretty wild) don't complain how it messed up your codebase.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You do not have a ZDR with Anthropic. For Mythos and even Fable they require prompt retention on their end. edit: or more precisely if you want to access Mythos/Fable ZDR does not apply, and depending on config the exclusion can affect other models.

I don't have experience directly with Anthropic, but I wouldn't assume anything with such high confidence without knowing the persons situation. No, an individual off the street or with an LLC and 5 employees isn't going to get a special deal from someone like Anthropic. But if their employer is bringing millions of dollars of potential spend to the table, can tell you from years of experience that turns a lot of 'no…

I work for a large enterprise and fable/mythos are specifically banned because of the difference in data retention agreements from those models to other Anthropic models.

This is the opening salvos of an all out token price war. With models a commodity at this point there isn’t much leverage for the big labs to keep their pricing anywhere near where it’s at. And that’s at the worst possible time as they need to be dramatically raising prices to have a viable business model. Expect pricing to rapidly fall towards the underlying cost of compute and as players get really desperate we’ll…

I shifted from DeepSeek v4 Flash 0731 to Gemini 3.7 flash on openrouter and price shoots up almost double with no visible change in outcome. So, today I reverted back.

Try DS through their own API if that's feasible, AFAIK they're much cheaper than through OS due to cache hit rates.

They just raised their prices sadly.

The really frightening part for OpenAI, should be that apparently nobody seems to care. [0] Their token usage on 5.6 Sol isn't even expected to double today. [0] https://openrouter.ai/openai

Perhaps people have grown tired of repeated bait and switch tactics?

I don't think you can expect a significant fraction of people to immediately switch based on a (presumably temporary) discount.

After using Claude for a long time, I tested Sol 5.6 for the first time today. Love it, its an incredibly capable model and uses far fewer tokens/time thinking. Its what I imagine Fable would be if I haven't been downgraded on every conversation - even after completing the verification program. I think I may cancel my Claude subscription finally.

Really?

I have witnessed 5.6 Sol Ultra edit line after line of literally empty lines ... for hours.

I wasn't literally watching it, I came back to a goal (that it started for itself without my approval!) that had done nothing but that for some reason.

It couldn't explain why it had started.
