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?

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".

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

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.
