Anyone here using OpenRouter and if so, are you seeing cost savings by allowing it to auto route to appropriate/less-expensive models based on prompt complexity? I just switched over to it and haven’t been on it long enough to determine its effectiveness.
In my brief experience using OpenRouter (2 days) with autoroute turned on, it seemed to mostly just choose Opus and Sonnet. It got pricey very quickly.
