Openrouter.ai is a unified interface for many LLMs, supporting both foundational models like OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini but also open source models like LLama-3, Mixtral and many more, some models are even offered for free. Open Router offers a Rest API and an OpenAI SDK compatibility (docs) which Weave automatically detects and integrates with (see Open Router quick start for more details). To get switch your OpenAI SDK code to Open Router, simply switch out the API key to your Open Router API key, base_url to https://openrouter.ai/api/v1, and model to one of their many chat models.

While this is a simple example to get started, see our OpenAI guide for more details on how to integrate Weave with your own functions for more complex use cases.
