Introducing Nitro and Floor Price Shortcuts
Blog post from OpenRouter
Nitro and Floor Price shortcuts introduced by OpenRouter offer users efficient ways to prioritize either speed or cost when selecting providers for their AI models. The :nitro suffix sorts providers by throughput, ensuring the fastest option is chosen, while the :floor shortcut selects the lowest-cost provider, both acting as simplified equivalents to setting specific sorting criteria in the API. For users seeking more control over provider selection, advanced sorting options like "price," "throughput," or "latency" are available, overriding OpenRouter's default load balancing. Additionally, upcoming improvements will transition throughput metrics from averages to medians, promising more accurate real-world performance ratings and enhancing the overall speed and cost-effectiveness of AI access.
