Be careful with openrouter. They routinely host quantized versions of models via their listed providers and the models just suck because of that. Use the original providers only.

I specifically do not use the CN/SG based original provider simply because I don't want my personal data traveling across the pacific. I try to only stay on US providers. Openrouter shows you what the quantization of each provider is, so you can choose a domestic one that's FP8 if you want

Funny, living in Europe, I prefer using EU and Chinese hosts because as I don't want my data going to the US.

The trust in US firms and state is completely gone.
