| LiteLLM proxy | `http://localhost:4000` | any proxied model |
| OpenRouter / Fireworks / xAI / … | provider base URL | provider model id |
| OrcaRouter | `https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1` | `openai/gpt-5.5` |
| Cheaper Inference | `https://api.cheaperinference.com/v1` | `gpt-5.4-mini` |

[OrcaRouter](https://www.orcarouter.ai) exposes OpenAI, Anthropic, Google,
DeepSeek and other models behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Its model IDs
are namespaced by upstream provider (e.g. `openai/gpt-5.5`,
`anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6`), so pass a namespaced ID as the model.

Cheaper Inference model IDs are not namespaced (e.g. `gpt-5.4-mini`), so pass
the bare ID as the model. See its [API docs](https://www.cheaperinference.com/docs)
for the base URL and its [model list](https://www.cheaperinference.com/markets)
for the model IDs.
