OpenRouter and Vercel's AI Gateway both list $2.50/M input and $15.00/M output, down from $5.00/$30.00, while OpenAI's own API docs show standard pricing. Vercel's changelog dates it precisely: Aug 17 through Sep 18, all requests through AI Gateway. Gateway-only and time-boxed reads as targeted price discrimination against the price-sensitive router segment, not a list-price cut. HN commenters tied it directly to Kimi K3 and DeepSeek undercutting frontier US pricing.
