Key comment author made at the end: result evals were done blind: nice.

I have always juggled a multitude of API keys and this article has almost convinced me to try Open Router. It is easy enough to purchase compute credit from Chinese companies, but I could save myself some time.

The thing I liked most in the analysis was the emphasis on speed and cost.

The speed and cost issue is important. I recently read that many AI startups in the USA are favoring faster and cheaper models from China (China is quietly overtaking America with open AI models - iX Broker: https://ixbroker.com/blog/china-is-quietly-overtaking-americ...). The Economist has a similar article but it is paywalled.
