Introduction

Start building AI applications with the OpenRouter API

Welcome, AI engineer! These docs cover guides, examples, references, and more to help you build applications using the 100+ models available via OpenRouter with the Orpheus library.

hello.rs
use orpheus::prelude::*;

fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let client = Orpheus::from_env()?;

    let response = client
        .chat("Say hello to our friend!")
        .model("openai/gpt-4o")
        .send()?;

    println!("Model says: {}", response.content()?);

    Ok(())
}
output

  • Not a framework: Avoid opaque abstractions 4 staying as close as possible to the underlying API while providing a clearer, more comfortable interface.

Key Features

Orpheus also comes with out-of-the-box support for:
