You are absolutely correct, I was not aware of this. I will update the article accordingly and perhaps it's more worthwhile to stay solely on Cursor with the limited models.

Sadly Zed seems to add 10% so it's still more worthwhile to use OpenRouter.

I feel like a bit of an idiot because I didn’t know this either. I just assumed OR was another startup burning money to provide models at cost.

OpenRouter is a valuable service but I’ll probably try to run my own router going forward.

Look again, they don't charge that fee until after "1M requests per month" whatever that means? Oh that's if you bring your own provider keys.

Come on at least write the Hackernews replies yourself.

I did. Perhaps too much consumption of AI responses but articles and engagement are written by me - a human.

That's exactly what a clanker would say. ^/s

Only the opening sentence has an AI smell; the rest is definitely written by a fleshy meatbag
