    Why it matters

    No interpretation is published for this signal. The observation stands on its own.

    Evidence boundary
    Fact, source and yellow3 interpretation remain separate. Sequence is not converted into causation.
    Corrections: none recorded
Coverage boundary

OpenRouter usage represents routed developer traffic, not the whole AI market. Timing near an adoption change does not establish causation. Sources checked for this record: OpenRouter routed-traffic rankings, OpenRouter listed price. Provider announcements and independent reporting are not yet monitored and are absent rather than nil.

OpenRouter publishes one headline price per model, and that price follows whichever provider it is currently routing to. At the latest reading this model was offered by 4 providers at prices from $0.22 to $0.44 per million input tokens. A move in the headline therefore does not establish that anyone changed a price. yellow3 records the providers charging the listed price with every observation and reports a change only where a provider charging the earlier price is charging the new one. Observations recorded before 23 September 2026 do not name the provider, so the prices are published and no change is derived from them. See the correction record.
