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?

[pacific01 → cssanchez]

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".

[pacific01 → simonw]

Ah, missed that one. It was only filtering models that contained 'free'. Fixed that in the current release

[jbellis]

Is there a way to find out what the rate limits are before you hit them?

[razemio → jbellis]

You mean for the free models? For the paid there is none on Openrouter.

To fellow HN users, new tool was released: OpenRouter Structured Outputs Playground: https://structured-outputs-playground.pages.dev/ Check it out if it's helpful for your projects!

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!

[WhatsName → olii]

OpenwebUI (https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui) accepts openrouter API keys and will let you choose from all models on openrouter in a ChatGTP (or even slightly better IMHO) interface.

[pacific01 → olii]

Sure, I'd be happy to take a look. It's currently just a direct call to the OpenRouter models API, though.

[alphabettsy → olii]

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

[EliBullockPapa → alphabettsy]

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

[pacific01 → EliBullockPapa]

Did you refer to my submission? The goal here is to offer a more focused and user-friendly way to compare models side-by-side, which isn't as straightforward on the main OpenRouter models page.
