OpenRouter

OpenRouter is an independent, premium service granting access to exclusive models such as GPT-4 32k, Claude, and more, typically unavailable to the public. This page explains how to link OpenRouter to big-AGI.

Pricing

OpenRouter provides the service and pricing, and it is not affiliated with big-AGI. Please see this page for more information details.

Note that large models such as GPT-4 32k are very expensive to run, and may consume credits very quickly - one prompt may cost $1 or more, at the time of writing.
