CrofAI accepts the openrouter:advisor tool, completely unexpected for an independent inference provider. Recording the results of using this tool across every model shows CrofAI is an OpenRouter wrapper that silently routes to cheaper or weaker models than what you request, explaining its low prices. Proof that this was true at the time of writing follows later.

These models are routed to DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731:
