Yes, and it's only for a month. This is an ad.
replyWhich raises the question - who is subsidizing this, and why?
replyPossibly OAI? If you have OAI tokens you are a captive audience. If you have OpenRouter you are bidding on a free market.
replyOpenRouter attributes this promotion to OpenAI https://x.com/OpenRouter/status/2089416739398254662
Why though, to AB test/see the impact of a price cut on a platform with multiple competitors?
replyIs this captive audience not going to switch providers for a 50% discount? Especially when the effort is simply swapping one URL for another?
replyOpenRouter is likely just leveraging Codex subscriptions.
replyWouldn’t that be against TOS?
replyIt might be through a level of indirection via an intermediate provider, offloading the TOS issue to the intermediate provider who couldn't care less.
replyRight? Should we switch from direct OpenAI API integration to OpenRouter?
replyWhat's the incentive here?
Open Responses API doesn't appear to support state management (yet)
OpenRouter and the Vercel AI Gateway.
replySo yes, presumably a very small share of their total traffic.
