Leaving OpenRouter? Uncensored AI models instead
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. Wild West API carries 5 such models on one OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
What OpenRouter is, and where it stops
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.
Other options people compare with OpenRouter
| Option | What it is |
|---|---|
| Together AI | Large catalogue of mainstream open-weight models, per token on serverless or on dedicated endpoints, plus fine-tuning. |
| DeepInfra | One of the cheaper per-token hosts for open-weight models, with a wide catalogue that changes as models are added and retired. |
| Featherless | Flat monthly subscription over tens of thousands of open Hugging Face models, hundreds of them abliterated or uncensored, hosted by Featherless itself. |
| Venice AI | Privacy-first host with its own uncensored models and media generation, sold per token or through its app plans. |
| Novita AI | Low-cost open-weight host, including some uncensored builds, and an upstream that gateways route to. |

What Wild West API carries instead
Wild West API sells 5 uncensored models on one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, every one able to call tools. Ordered for this particular job rather than by a single ranking: Outlaw 1 Xploded leads because it is the cheapest of the set on output at $1.00 per million tokens.

Switching takes one base URL
Anything that speaks the OpenAI chat completions format works unchanged. Point it here, use a Wild West API key, and name the model from the table.
curl https://wildwestapi.com/v1/chat/completions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-ww-..." \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "model": "outlaw-1-xploded", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}] }'
FAQ
Is Wild West API actually uncensored, or does it just say so?
Wild West API 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 build 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, with no subscription. $0.300 in and $1.00 out per million tokens for Outlaw 1 Xploded.
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.
Will it work with my existing client?
If the client takes an OpenAI-compatible base URL, yes: point it at https://wildwestapi.com/v1 with a Wild West API key. Claude Code and the Anthropic SDKs use the Anthropic format, which is served too.
