Maybe they (oai) want to pump their marketshare on openrouter lol

Any benefit of pumping marketshare on open router?

if I was going to IPO I'd want higher marketshare and openrouter is the most popular way to measure model usage (not saying it's the most accurate b/c it's not)

How is that not weird?

Has OpenAI struck a deal with openrouter and that's why we're seeing preferred pricing?

Is openrouter taking a loss on sol API calls to grow adoption?

How temporary is the reduction in price?

Selling cheaper through what should be a minor third party, than through the first, party is super weird in commerce.
