OpenRouter
A marketplace that gives you access to many AI models through a single connection.
OpenRouter is a service that sits in front of dozens of AI models from different providers and lets a developer reach all of them through one account and one interface. It also shows live pricing and usage, which makes it a handy scoreboard.
It is useful because it removes the hassle of signing up with every lab separately, and it makes switching between models, or comparing their prices, much easier.
