You do it if you can afford to do it and your competitor can't.

Who are OpenRouter’s competitors?

OpenRouter doesn't decide on the pricing.

They do decide on the 5% markup. But as far as I can tell, all other routers just match 5%. Not sure what they're competing on.

Yes but Sol dropping in price by 50% is not OpenRouter deciding. It's OpenAI.

I don’t think that’s true. OpenAI docs don’t have this price change. I assume they’d be the source for this post if it was true. The banner on OpenRouter for me says Gemini 3.7 discounted for a limited time, but if I click through that I get to this page: https://openrouter.ai/models?discount=true

That shows a bunch of models, including Sol, with a discount. None of them say how long it’s for, but I’d assume in all their cases it’s for a limited time as the banner said, and only on OpenRouter.

OpenRouter margins are not 50%.

		As I understand OAI is offering discount only for users using the model via OR. Not sure why. Maybe they want OR users to try the model and switch to OAI subscription or something.

That kind of is a reason.
