OpenRouter models

OpenRouter is one API in front of hundreds of models. With a single OPENROUTER_API_KEY in your .env, Mastery HQ can open any of them as a chat window and enter them in the Model Council and Benchmark suite.

Setting it up

1. Create a key at openrouter.ai.
2. Add OPENROUTER_API_KEY=… to your .env (Settings → Agents shows the expected location).
3. Open an OpenRouter agent window and pick the model id (e.g. anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet).

What they can and can’t do

• Can: stream chat responses, participate in Council/Benchmark, be routed to by name from the command bar.
• Can’t: read or edit files, run commands, resume sessions, or view image attachments — those need a real CLI agent on your machine.

Good to know

• Usage bills through your OpenRouter account per their model pricing.
• Your key stays in the local .env — see data location & privacy.
