Routing Layer

A quiet operating surface for high-volume model access.

Use familiar model names, OpenAI-compatible requests, and one prepaid balance across high-demand coding and reasoning models.

One OpenRouter-compatible surface

Point editors, SDKs, agents, and internal tools at one endpoint while keeping existing OpenAI-style client code.

Discounted effective routing

Use prepaid routing credits and discounted upstream capacity instead of paying full retail on every request.

Metered without subscriptions

Create an API key, top up credits, and run models until the balance is spent. No monthly lock-in.

FAQ

Operational questions, answered directly.

What are OpenRouter credits?

Prepaid usage credits. A route multiplier determines how many OpenRouter credits a completed request consumes.

Does OpenRouter store prompts?

Raw prompts are not stored by default. Billing and diagnostics use normalized request metadata.

Does it work with coding tools?

Yes. Configure OpenRouter as an OpenAI-compatible provider and select a published route name.

What happens when a stream fails?

The request is marked as aborted, provider health is updated, and no OpenRouter credits are charged.
