One of OpenRouter's main points is that it allows you to bypass individual AI vendors' downtimes. I was considering using it for an uptime-critical project of mine.

The post-mortem will be worth watching.

Only if you're using a model hosted by multiple providers (e.g. an open model).

To be fair, it is still useful on this front; it's much faster than waiting for requests to fail and fallback to a backup yourself.

You still need another backup provider or two for cases like this though.

Nope, for closed models too. Claude for example has multiple providers they work with. Google Vertex, Amazon Bedrock and Anthropic themselves all provide inference for Claude.

The vast majority of models on OpenRouter (both closed and open) have multiple providers.
