OpenRouter says it saved 22,000 users more than $100,000 over the weekend on GLM 5.2 by routing traffic to discounted providers during low-demand windows.
- Users did nothing manually.
- The result was over 50% lower pricing than weekday rates.
- The screenshot shows multiple providers competing on input/output/cache-read pricing, reinforcing that inference sourcing is increasingly a routing and market-pricing problem.
