A paid audit of OpenRouter, DeepInfra, Together, Requesty, Fireworks, Groq, and Cerebras: one identical workload (900 requests on each of the five scored platforms, 450 on Groq and Cerebras, which host neither reference model), scored from invoiced cost, p50/p95 latency, coverage, reliability, and update cadence.
