High token usage cuz it's free doesn't count
1 comments

The post goes into that issue. Throughly.

The numbers at the beginning of the post are weekly aggregate values well after the endpoint was paid-only.

The post is wrong, it's still free, see - https://openrouter.ai/tencent/hy3-preview:free it's free in kilo.ai https://kilo.ai/models/tencent-hy3-preview-free It's free in a lot of places.
The first endpoint was closed. If you actually try and call it from the API you get this response:

> Hy3 preview is no longer available as a free model. It has transitioned to a paid model. Continue using it here: https://openrouter.ai/tencent/hy3-preview

The Kilo Code may have free traffic but if you check the numbers is still inconsequential relative to the trillions of tokens through OpenRouter.
