Where does this "10x" comes from?
replyEvery "other" provider other than deepseek on openrouter (or elsewhere) is charging at the very least 10x for cached input tokens... and in agentic coding, that is where the 90%+ of the costs from from... that means with these providers, your costs will jump by 10x or more.

Sort by cache read.
> The recently announced they're raising their prices 10x right?
replyNo.
They sent an email to customers saying that they will raise prices "significantly".
How much that will be is speculation.
My guess is that they will just remove the 75% discount they gave when they released V4 preview. It will still be relatively cheap even at 4x the current price.
It will be comparable to Luna then.
