Inclusion Criteria

A provider gets its own .toml file when it meets at least one of:

1. Has a direct public API not accessible via OpenRouter
2. Has a unique endpoint for a specific workload (e.g. coding plan endpoints)
3. Has a dedicated driver (ApiFormat beyond generic OpenAI)
4. Is a local/self-hosted runtime
5. Is a CLI-based provider

Providers that only route through openrouter.ai/api/v1 with OPENROUTER_API_KEY are not given standalone files — their models are merged into openrouter.toml by the sync script. See scripts/sync-pricing.py.

Sync Script

scripts/sync-pricing.py runs daily via CI to keep model pricing current.

python scripts/sync-pricing.py                             # Update prices only
python scripts/sync-pricing.py --create-missing            # Also add new providers
python scripts/sync-pricing.py --dry-run --create-missing  # Preview changes

--create-missing routing logic:

Condition	Action
Provider in PROVIDER_API map (has direct API)	Create standalone .toml
Provider not in PROVIDER_API (OpenRouter-only)	Merge into openrouter.toml with openrouter/{provider}/{model} IDs
Provider in SKIP_PROVIDERS (morph, aider, kwaipilot, …)	Skip entirely
Provider ID starts with ~ (OpenRouter internal routing alias)	Skip entirely

---

Validation

python scripts/validate.py           # Warn on issues
python scripts/validate.py --strict  # Treat warnings as errors

Checks: required fields, valid tiers, non-negative costs, no duplicate model IDs.

Adding or Updating a Provider

1. Check inclusion criteria above — if OpenRouter-only, don't create a new file
2. Create or edit the .toml in providers/
3. Use exact API model IDs; verify pricing from official sources
4. Run python scripts/validate.py
5. Update the table in this README
6. Submit a PR

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full guide.
