Alibaba’s own endpoint for each model (standard tier and default region first), next to the cheapest standard price from any provider. Most widely served first.
Method
Prices are USD per 1M tokens at the standard service tier in the default region: the cheapest qualifying provider per model, with flex, batch, priority and fast endpoints and unusually low outliers never used as the headline. “Blended” weights input and output 3:1. Missing prices are unknown, not free. OpenRouter tokens per day are the latest full UTC day of OpenRouter’s public rankings (named rows only). Prices move: see AI API price changes for recent cuts and increases.
