For readers wondering, OpenRouter isn’t capable of caching as effectively as DeepSeek is because they will, for instance, switch inference providers in the middle of a session.

The way I use openrouter is I find a model/provider combination I like then pin all requests for that model to that single provider.

If you disable all other providers but DeepSeek in your OpenRouter guardrails, is that effectively the same thing?

		What pests said. And you can make a preset and pass "model": "@preset/deep-seek"
