That looks absolutely horrifying. What are the alternatives ??
I've had opencode go + opencode work reliably, though I'm skeptical of how robust their data security claims are in practice because they suddenly blocked accessing Deepseek unless you were okay with the data going to China where true data privacy for something like that is illegal, which makes me wonder where it went before, which weakens my trust. It's also a lot less useful now that Deepseek is so much more expensive.
Excellent post, thanks for the article. This is very relevant for anyone using openrouter and similar services seriously.<p>I feel there is still a lot of progress to be made before we can really trust LLM providers.
I noticed some strange behavior when I was setting it up to avoid providers that collect data, hence blocking default providers. Definitely it is worth filtering well tested providers, which is a feature OpenRouter provides.
great post, I just put $100 in credits on open router to try different models, I think maybe using the "real" provider is the way forward once I've spent my credits and decided which one I want (for now).
Wish this had more insights on 'cost' - I found OpenRouter credits to burn up fast.
Good job
