OR I can keep paying 15% markup till next month and then jump to newest / cheapest model with one-liner change instead of being locked to a model/provider.

Which model/provider locks like this, most of them use chatgpt style apis anyway.

		That requires that you create accounts and separately manage each provider you want to use. OpenRouter removes that - if a new provider gets added, you can start using them immediately.

Aren't they all the same api? Are you paying 15 % to change one line, and not, like, three?
