Yes, openrouter providers are all over the place (in a bad way): https://mmoustafa.com/blog/so-you-want-to-use-openrouter/
I've experienced this firsthand and now I generally pin to providers that I trust on openrouter, or just pony up and pay for the real thing.
Potentially higher cache hit rate at the expense of your data being kept for training.
platform deepseek com's tos enforces use all your data on training, which is a major set back for me.
Other than that, I think they are cheaper last time I compared.
