OpenRouter adds :nitro routing for Kimi K3

A new update for Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 on OpenRouter allows users to add the ":nitro" suffix to the model name. This feature automatically routes requests across various providers to ensure the highest possible token throughput, delivering the fastest Kimi K3 experience available.

// ANALYSIS

This feature cleverly leverages aggregator architecture to prioritize pure inference speed for users who need it most. Automatic provider routing optimizes for inference speed and high token throughput. It provides an extremely simple developer experience via a string modifier. This highlights the growing performance advantages of using model routing layers over single-provider APIs.
