OpenRouter Fusion puts model routing in the product spotlight, with key claims still unchecked

OpenRouter says Model Fusion routes a prompt to multiple models in parallel, synthesizes their responses into one answer, and is available through an API plugin, a server tool, and the chatroom composer. That makes Fusion a concrete test of whether routing layers can become more than convenience features by controlling selection, packaging, and user trust across models. The current evidence supports availability and the high-level mechanism, but it does not verify benchmark claims, pricing, underlying model lists, provider permissions, response provenance, or failure modes. Until those details are documented or independently checked, Fusion is better read as a product-layer signal than as proof that a router can substitute for frontier models.
