OpenRouter

Set up Coreply with OpenRouter to access hundreds of models through a single API key.

OpenRouter is a unified API gateway that gives you access to models from many providers — including Google, OpenAI, Meta, and Mistral — through a single endpoint and API key.

Some OpenRouter endpoints are available for free with strict rate limits. Free models are fine for testing, but are not recommended for regular use. Paid models have higher limits and better availability.

Setup

1. Get your API key

   Go to openrouter.ai/settings/keys and create a new API key.

2. Enter your credentials in Coreply

   Open Coreply’s settings and fill in the following values:

   Field	Value
   API URL	https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/
   API Key	Your key from OpenRouter
   Model Name	See recommended models below

3. Choose a model

   Free models

   These models are available at no cost with strict rate limits:

   google/gemma-3-27b-it:free
   meta-llama/llama-3.3-8b-instruct:free
   

   Paid models

   These models offer better reliability and performance:

   google/gemini-2.5-flash
   google/gemini-2.0-flash-001
   openai/gpt-4.1-mini
   openai/gpt-4.1
   mistralai/codestral-2508
   

   You’re welcome to try other models available on OpenRouter.

OpenRouter disables reasoning by default for models that support it, such as google/gemini-2.5-flash. This makes those models suitable for real-time use with Coreply, where low latency matters.
