You can click the table headers to sort Ascending/Descending.


You can sort by the cost cache cose, but you cannot by cache hit %. You have to click on the provider and see what their cache hit % is. A provider could have a super low cache cost, but a 50% cache hit percentage, making the cheap price of cache read's meaningless.


Wait, what does that number mean? I thought it always uses the cache price when the prefix matches.


When the prefix matches a request sent to the same Providor. The thing is the TTL is different for each provider, some cache for 5 minutes some cache for 1hr. Its ideal to only use one provider per agent session / and per model with the best cache hit % if you care about costs.


But before 5m the hit rate is 100%, and after it's 0%? Why is there a probability?

Is there some stochastic process that takes place during those 5 minutes that determines whether or not you get the discount?


Presumably the number that OpenRouter shows is averaged across all requests.
