Connecting to OpenRouter

Last updated: August 10, 2026

Eviory OS supports connecting to OpenRouter, an aggregator that gives you access to hundreds of different LLMs (like Claude 5 Sonnet, GPT-5.6 Sol, Llama 4, and more) using a single API key.

Because Eviory OS uses a Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) model, your API requests go directly from your browser to OpenRouter, ensuring privacy and speed.

1. Getting your OpenRouter API Key

  1. Go to OpenRouter.ai and sign in.
  2. Navigate to your Keys dashboard.
  3. Click Create Key. Give it a recognizable name (e.g., Eviory OS).
  4. Copy the generated API Key. (It usually starts with sk-or-v1-).

2. Configuring Eviory OS Settings

Once you have your API key, you can plug it into Eviory OS.

  1. Open Settings inside Eviory OS.
  2. Navigate to the AI Integrations tab.
  3. Scroll down to the Custom Local AI / Proxy section.
  4. Fill in the fields exactly as follows:
  • Base URL: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
  • API Key: Paste your OpenRouter key here
  • Model ID: Enter the specific model tag from OpenRouter (e.g., anthropic/claude-5-sonnet or openai/gpt-5.6-sol).
  1. Click Save Changes.

Eviory OS will now route all AI inference tasks through OpenRouter using your chosen model!
