Built with

Product changes

  • Activity and Logs in workspace sidebar — Organizations with multiple workspaces now see Activity and Logs links directly in each workspace’s sidebar, pre-filtered to that workspace.
  • API key links in activity logs — The Activity page and generation detail pane now display the API key name as a clickable link to its detail page, with org-scoped access control.
  • Fixed: video playback errors in Logs — Video generation results in Logs now show specific error messages based on the failure type (expired, codec unsupported, network error) and always provide a Download button as fallback.

Product changes

  • Fixed: activity chart color consistency — Spend, Requests, and Tokens charts on the activity page now use consistent colors for the same series across all three charts.

Product changes

  • Compare page benchmark visualization — The compare page now displays provider-coded landscape benchmark charts for Intelligence, Coding, and Agentic metrics with author-brand color gradients, replacing the previous data grid.
  • Redesigned model selector — The model selector now features full-screen search, improved filtering, and integrated apps discovery, making it faster to find and switch between models across the site.

Product changes

  • Profile link in navigation — Added a Profile link to the user dropdown menu for quicker access to profile settings.
  • Compare page toolbar layout — Moved the comparison controls to the left of model cards and the “Add model” button to the top-right title bar on the compare page.
  • Fixed: service_tier response normalization — API responses now consistently return "default" instead of sometimes "standard" for the base service tier, and explicitly return null when no tier is present. Docs
  • Fixed: profile API keys scoping in organizations — API keys on the profile page now correctly display only the current user’s keys when viewing within an organization context.

Product changes

  • Export all chats from playground — Added an “Export All Chats” option to the chatroom sidebar menu to download all conversations as a single JSON file.
  • Filter menu badge counts — The activity filter menu now displays numeric badge counts for active selections per category and uses checkmarks instead of dots for selected items.
  • API keys on profile page — All API keys across workspaces are now visible on the user profile page with click-through navigation to each key’s detail page.
  • Improved coding agent attribution — Requests from Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Cline, RooCode, Kilo Code, Zed, and OpenCode are now properly identified and labeled in activity logs.
  • Fixed: chat export missing rooms — Exporting chats now includes all rooms, including those not recently visited.

New models

  • Qwen: Qwen3.7 Max

Product changes

  • Web fetch: Parallel engine — The web fetch server tool now supports Parallel as an engine option, bringing engine parity with web search.
  • Delete all chats in chatroom — Added a “Delete All Chats” option in the chatroom sidebar with a confirmation dialog for bulk-deleting all chat rooms at once.
  • Pareto Router default settings — The Pareto Router can now be configured with a default coding quality tier in workspace plugin settings, removing the need to pass min_coding_score on every API request.
  • Fixed: HTML-encoded characters in xAI tool-call arguments — xAI Grok models that intermittently emit &, <, or > inside tool-call argument JSON now have those entities decoded server-side so downstream clients receive clean arguments.
  • Fixed: compare page horizontal scroll at 4–5 models — The compare page now properly enables horizontal scrolling when comparing four or five models.

New models

  • xAI: Grok Build 0.1

Product changes

  • Download fusion responses as markdown — Fusion responses in the chatroom can now be downloaded as .md files with human-readable filenames based on the prompt title and timestamp.
  • Profile page improvements — User profiles now show per-model breakdowns for token and prompt counts, a discoverable profile picture change button, and a refreshed header layout.
  • Request ID filter in logs — The logs page now displays request IDs in generation details and supports filtering by request ID alongside generation ID and session ID.
  • Unified date range picker on activity page — The activity page now uses the same date range preset picker as the logs page for consistent date selection.
  • Collapsible citation icons in chatroom — When a chatroom response has more than five citation icons, only the first three are shown with an expander button to reveal the rest.
  • Model pinning for router sessions — Router models like openrouter/auto now pin to the same concrete model across requests sharing a session_id, improving prompt cache hit rates for multi-turn conversations.
  • Fixed: router fallback blocked by generation start events — Protocol-level generation start events no longer prevent provider fallback, so the router correctly retries with another provider when the first one errors before delivering content.

New models

  • Google: Gemini 3.5 Flash

Product changes

  • Move API keys between workspaces — You can now transfer API keys from one workspace to another, making it easy to reorganize keys as your team structure evolves.
  • Presets API for creating presets from inference requests — Added POST /api/v1/presets/:slug/chat/completions for creating or versioning a preset directly from a standard chat completions request body, now also available in the TypeScript and Python SDKs.
  • Date format preference — Added a date format selector in Settings with Default, Short, ISO, and Relative options that apply across the dashboard, logs, and API key pages.
  • Long-horizon agents cookbook — New cookbook guide covering how to build long-running agent tasks with the OpenRouter Agent SDK, including stop-condition ceilings, resumable state, streaming progress, and voice input.
  • Compare page empty state redesign — The compare page now shows interactive slot cards in the empty state, letting you select models directly without a separate search step.
  • Profile page layout — Profile pages now display name, avatar, email, role, and workspace info at the top of the page for a cleaner layout.
  • Fixed: Anthropic native web_fetch passthrough — Anthropic models with native web_fetch support now correctly receive the tool in upstream requests, restoring full web content fetching capability.
  • Fixed: compare page section headers not sticking on scroll — Section headers on the compare page now correctly dock under the model cards while scrolling.
  • Fixed: playground side panel losing generation state on close — Closing and reopening the playground side panel on model detail pages now preserves in-progress generation output.

New models

  • xAI: Grok Imagine Video
  • xAI: Grok Imagine Image Quality

Product changes

  • Fixed: rankings filter state not persisted in URL — Filters on the rankings page are now stored in the URL via query parameters, making filtered views shareable and bookmarkable.

Product changes

  • Bring-your-own-key management API — New REST endpoints for programmatically listing, retrieving, creating, updating, and deleting BYOK credentials across workspaces via management key authentication.
  • Observability destinations management API — New REST endpoints for listing, retrieving, creating, updating, and deleting observability destinations (Datadog, Langfuse, LangSmith, and more) via management key authentication.
  • Fixed: dashboard growth percentages exceeding display bounds — Very large growth percentages on the activity dashboard are now capped at >999% for readability.
