@danbarr when and if this is accepted, we'll probably want to document how to use OR with this provider. I noticed we suggest to use VLLM now in the docs for continue. |

Yeah vllm worked because both it and OpenRouter are an OpenAI-compatible API. Originally I thought we could use our existing /openai provider endpoint but that's where we ran into the LiteLLM automatic routing based on the model name. |
In order to properly support "muxing providers" like openrouter, we'll have to tell litellm (or in future a native implementation), what server do we want to proxy to. We were already doing that with Vllm, but since are about to do the same for OpenRouter, let's move the `_get_base_url` method to the base provider.
OpenRouter is a "muxing provider" which itself provides access to multiple models and providers. It speaks a dialect of the OpenAI protocol, but for our purposes, we can say it's OpenAI. There are some differences in handling the requests, though: 1) we need to know where to forward the request to, by default this is `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1`, this is done by setting the base_url parameter 2) we need to prefix the model with `openrouter/`. This is a lite-LLM-ism (see https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers/openrouter) which we'll be able to remove once we ditch litellm Initially I was considering just exposing the OpenAI provider on an additional route and handling the prefix based on the route, but I think having an explicit provider class is better as it allows us to handle any differences in OpenRouter dialect easily in the future.

We can later alias it to openai if we decide to merge them.

Initially I only tested this with Cline, using DeepSeek for Plan and Anthropic
for Act. I still need to test other assistants (Continue).
