Unless you value privacy, pay for openrouter. You still get the benefits of cheap tokens and programmatic usage.

3090 pricing is something of a wild card. Since the only big-mem consume cards are the xx90s, and a 5090 is pushing $5000, resale value has gone way up. The bottom hit ~$700 last year. It's still a very good GPU, if power hungry.
