Avoid the common pitfalls of OpenRouter
“It’s terrible for production; most AI models are quantized.”
“I’ve had a lot of trouble getting quality results. My agents seem to stop, get lost, or simply don’t work as expected.”
“Had my account locked out within a day of setup and typical use. No explanation why, no response from customer support after a month.”
“Deleted 100% of my chats without warning or permission.”
“No free LLM is available, although a variety of models is listed. Also, when trying a request, you will get a response like “LLM is temporarily rate-limited upstream..”
“I added credits using Amazon Pay and not long after I had a notification that someone was trying to log into my Amazon account.”
“Not every AI task requires the most expensive model and LLM API helped us prove exactly that.”

Route every request to the right model, track every dollar you spend and cut your LLM costs by up to 50%
