For one thing, providers of open models can't arbitrarily increase their prices without facing competition.

For one thing, providers of open models can't arbitrarily increase their prices without facing competition.
But given the extremely low cost of switching, why wouldn't you use the cheaper one if they're comparable?
As low as it is, switching between providers on OpenRouter is still lower.
That said, it's a fair point. For me, it boils down to things covered here: https://earendil.com/posts/session-portability/
Things like obscured reasoning traces.
Speed and reliability.
