Cause of death: the autopsy

OpenRouter ships it itself: a field to pin the model precision you want plus its own provider benchmarks.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
