What is Openrouter.ai?
OpenRouter provides a single API key for access to over 300 models from more than 60 providers. The interface is OpenAI SDK compatible, letting developers switch between models without code changes. A visual model‑routing dashboard displays provider health and enables automatic fall‑back when a provider is unavailable.
Edge hosting reduces latency between end users and model inference. Custom data‑policy controls limit prompt routing to trusted providers. The platform also offers agentic development tools such as Hermes Agent and Kilo Code for building autonomous workflows.
