Vercel AI SDK

Vercel AI SDK can call OdiRouter with the OpenAI-compatible provider package. Keep the API key on the server.

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Packages	ai and @ai-sdk/openai-compatible
Base URL	https://www.odirouter.ai/v1
API Key	ODIROUTER_API_KEY server environment variable
Model	An OdiRouter LLM model ID

Install

npm install ai @ai-sdk/openai-compatible

Configure Provider

import { createOpenAICompatible } from "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible";

export const odirouter = createOpenAICompatible({
  name: "odirouter",
  apiKey: process.env.ODIROUTER_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://www.odirouter.ai/v1",
});

Generate Text

import { generateText } from "ai";
import { odirouter } from "./odirouter";

const result = await generateText({
  model: odirouter("gpt-5.5"),
  prompt: "Write a one-sentence integration test.",
});

console.log(result.text);

Stream Text

import { streamText } from "ai";
import { odirouter } from "./odirouter";

const result = streamText({
  model: odirouter("gpt-5.5"),
  prompt: "Stream three short implementation notes.",
});

for await (const textPart of result.textStream) {
  process.stdout.write(textPart);
}

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
API key appears in client bundle	Move the provider and generation call to server-side code
Model not found	Use an OdiRouter model ID from /models
Requests fail with 401	Confirm ODIROUTER_API_KEY exists in the server runtime
Tooling expects OpenAI package	Use @ai-sdk/openai-compatible, not the provider hardcoded for OpenAI only
