Luna saw a huge jump after the price cut and is one of the more competitive models at the new price on openrouter.
Maybe they want to see how much market they can grab with Sol?
This might help but there are already cheaper models with Sol's intelligence more or less, the most notable being Grok 4.6 at $6/m which makes it a tougher sell
- OutOfHere 1mo agoSince when does Grok 4.6 have Sol 5.6's intelligence? I don't believe it.
- redox99 1mo agoIt doesn't.
- mohamedkoubaa 1mo agoI wonder if xAI is A/B testing routing some difficult grok 4.6 queries to Sol to seed some true believers.
- dimgl 1mo agoWhy not?
- chaos_emergent 1mo agoBecause it’s good on benchmarks but not on real usage?
- dimgl 1mo agoBut OP said they've never used it. How would they know?
- maxdo 1mo agoI do have free sol and cursor ultra for 200 I prefer grok over sol, they are equally capable but grok is faster
- qingcharles 1mo agoI use Grok 4.6 every day; it's good, but it's not Opus 5 or Sol 5.6. The gap is closing, though.
- xmonkee 1mo agoIt's really only between Anthropic and OpenAI for many of my use cases, since I have a Zero Data Retention agreement with both. I'm not trusting random inference providers and especially not Elmo with sensitive data.
- c0rruptbytes 1mo agoplenty of companies offer ZDR and are just as random as OpenAI and Anthropic in their age
- xmonkee 1mo agoWould love a few names. Many of them fail to provide good uptime for large scale jobs or don’t have batch apis at all in my research.
- HDBaseT 1mo agoDigitalOcean does inference, has good uptime and offers ZDR. They are not an AI first/inference first company. They have been serving cloud products for almost 2 decades. Batch API is a bit harder, not many models/providers support Batch. It primarily is only the Gemini/ChatGPT/Claude models that do. DigitalOcean does support a 50% discount on Batch API via them directly, not listed on OpenRouter.

- dataplumb3r 1mo agoYou do not have a ZDR with Anthropic. For Mythos and even Fable they require prompt retention on their end. edit: or more precisely if you want to access Mythos/Fable ZDR does not apply, and depending on config the exclusion can affect other models.
- mrngld 1mo agoI don't have experience directly with Anthropic, but I wouldn't assume anything with such high confidence without knowing the persons situation. No, an individual off the street or with an LLC and 5 employees isn't going to get a special deal from someone like Anthropic. But if their employer is bringing millions of dollars of potential spend to the table, can tell you from years of experience that turns a lot of 'no's' to 'yes'.

- johnnyApplePRNG 1mo agoSOL 5.6 usage actually looks unchanged on the day https://openrouter.ai/provider/openai https://openrouter.ai/provider/openai I'd be surprised if they closed out over 100B tokens today (they did 101B on sol 5.6 yesterday).
