Get an OpenRouter key

Use models from many companies with a single OpenRouter API key.

OpenRouter is a service that lets you use models from many companies with one API key. To choose from these models in Typeside, get an API key and connect it.

OpenRouter deducts usage from credits you add in advance. Without credits you can still use free models, but the number of requests per day is limited. Check limits and prices in the OpenRouter FAQ.
