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).
