- OpenRouter provides access to multiple LLMs via a single API and publishes usage data that many AI labs keep secret.
- Hy3预览模型, despite being less known and having modest benchmarks, surpassed Claude in token usage by over 50%, with its popularity persisting after a free trial ended in early May.
- DeepSeek Flash V4 offers lower effective pricing than Hy3预览 due to innovative caching that reduces costs, with some providers charging as little as 2% for cache reads.
- Most LLM costs are now input tokens, and caching significantly lowers effective prices, though this varies by provider, making stated prices misleading.
- Hy3 preview is served by a single provider, SiliconFlow, and its restrictive license may limit adoption, while its popularity might stem from a large, non-coding app using it for data processing.
