I’ve become a huge fan of @OpenRouter very quickly. It really wouldn’t be possible to even consider testing or talking to all the models coming out recently without them. Frankly I’ve been surprised by just how useable so many of them have felt inside of coding harnesses.

@code_star @OpenRouter Yes, it's great actually. Especially if you want to try the larger open-weight models that are too big to run locally but don't want to set up a new account for each platform / adjust your API calls each time
