OpenRouter alternatives that do not refuse.

If you are here because OpenRouter stopped mid-answer, the thing you want is the same routing convenience with a catalogue curated down to the models that do not refuse. MagmaRouter carries 14 such models on one OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

What OpenRouter actually declines

OpenRouter does not moderate on its own account: it passes your request to whichever provider serves the model, and that provider's policy applies. Its catalogue is enormous but the uncensored and abliterated builds are a very small corner of it.

Worth being straight about Nothing here is a jailbreak, and none of it makes an illegal act legal. A loosely aligned model answers more questions; it does not change what you are allowed to do with the answer, and it is frequently more confidently wrong than the model you left.

What to use instead

Ordered for this particular job rather than by a single ranking. Sao10K: Llama 3 8B Lunaris leads because it is the cheapest of the uncensored set on output at $0.057 per million tokens.

Switching takes one base URL

Anything that speaks the OpenAI chat completions format works unchanged. Point it here, use a MagmaRouter key, and name the model from the table.

FAQ

Is MagmaRouter actually uncensored, or does it just say so?

MagmaRouter does not moderate requests. It prices the call, holds the money against your key cap and passes the request to the model. What comes back is whatever that model does: an uncensored finetune refuses far less than a frontier model but can still decline, and only an abliterated build has the refusal direction removed outright. Neither tag is a promise that any given answer will arrive.

What does it cost compared with OpenRouter?

You pay per token at the rates in the table above, margin already included, with no subscription. $0.046 in and $0.057 out per million tokens for Sao10K: Llama 3 8B Lunaris.

Are my prompts stored?

No. The database keeps the model id, token counts and cost. It does not keep the prompt or the completion, and every call returns a signed receipt of the prompt hash so you can prove afterwards what you sent.

Can I cap what a key is allowed to spend?

Yes, and the cap is enforced before the request goes upstream rather than reconciled afterwards. The reply cannot physically cost more than the hold placed before it was sent.
