Openrouter just practically killed hundred of services in a day, this must be illegal, ton of services have been built around Openrouter to provide API access to end-consumers (at least to my knowledge).

Their ToS now cite: `access the Site or Service for purposes of reselling API access to AI Models or otherwise developing a competing service;`

This seems very deceptive coming from Openrouter.

It’s not like you ever owned anything when you built something on top of these sorts of services.

I think it is clear that there is no point providing AI based services via 3rd party AI. Openrouter may even end up with a similar fate if the upstream providers make a similar ToS change. I’ve always thought of Openrouter as a useful tool for development and chat that lets me add a zoo of models quickly. Anything relatively close to production? Fix a model version and use a providers API, for as long as that’s supported.
