OpenRouter Integration
Connect Hermes Agent to OpenRouter for access to 100+ models from every major provider — with automatic failover, cost optimization, and unified API access.
What is Multi-Model Routing?
Multi-model routing is the practice of dynamically selecting the best language model for each task based on capability requirements, cost constraints, and availability. Instead of being locked into a single provider, agents can leverage the strengths of multiple models.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is OpenRouter?
OpenRouter is a unified API for accessing language models from multiple providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, etc.) through a single interface with standardized request/response formats.
Can Hermes switch models mid-conversation?
Yes. Hermes can route different tasks to different models based on capability, cost, and latency requirements. A quick classification task might use a small model while complex reasoning uses a large one.
Does OpenRouter support model fallback?
Yes. If a primary model is unavailable or rate-limited, Hermes can automatically fall back to an alternative model with similar capabilities.
How does pricing work with OpenRouter?
OpenRouter uses a pay-per-token model with transparent pricing per model. You fund your account and are charged based on actual usage across all providers.
