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!

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.

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.

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.
