What it does

NitroRouter is the cost-effective LLM API. An OpenRouter alternative offering the same unified API access to gpt, claude and gemini models but up to 80% cheaper. Transparent billing, pay-as-you-go, reliable and fast.

NitroRouter is an OpenRouter alternative, offering the same unified API access but up to 80% cheaper . Multiple upstream redundancies ensure your apps stay online and responsive. However, regular developers cannot access these enterprise discounts. If you use a subscription plan, you are locked to a single provider's models, and unused capacity is wasted. We aggregate these low-cost channels and provide them to regular developers through a unified, pay-as-you-go API. You receive a $0.5 free credit upon registration, allowing you to try our service before adding funds. Yes, Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode can all use our API directly. You can check the docs page on how to configurefrom nitrorouter.com

  OpenRouter Model FusionApr 2026 · openrouter.ai · ▲144

  Hey HN, We've been building a multi-model API for LLMs called OpenRouter since we launched the Window AI extension in April this year [0]. The events of the last week make it clear the LLM landscape is unpredictable, so LLM aggregators are picking up interest. Unlike others, we're making a router on top of a public, explorable dataset. We recently built a way to rank and visualize this data, including the token counts we see going to and from different models, both open-sourced (like Llama, Mistral, finetunes, and variants) and closed-sourced (OpenAI, Anthropic). The API supports - 50+…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
