The way I use openrouter is I find a model/provider combination I like then pin all requests for that model to that single provider.

If you disable all other providers but DeepSeek in your OpenRouter guardrails, is that effectively the same thing?

Sure but you still pay only OpenRouter :)

Interestingly, OpenRouter will serve inference at cost for a lot of models.

No? They charge 5.5% (I believe) on every top-up. Which is the equivalent of charging you 5.5% on every request.

How do you do this?

[pests → roarkeful]

provider: { order: ['deepinfra/turbo'], allowFallbacks: false, },

What pests said. And you can make a preset and pass "model": "@preset/deep-seek"
