OpenCode

Put this in opencode.json in your project folder:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "openrouter": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "OpenRouter",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
        "apiKey": "{env:OPENROUTER_API_KEY}"
      },
      "models": {
        "bytedance-seed/seed-1.6-flash": {
          "name": "Seed 1.6 Flash",
          "limit": {
            "context": 262144,
            "output": 32768
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
  • OpenCode reads any OpenAI-compatible address through the @ai-sdk/openai-compatible package, and an address that speaks the Responses API through @ai-sdk/openai.

      "baseUrl": "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "$OPENROUTER_API_KEY",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "bytedance-seed/seed-1.6-flash"

Codex

Put this in ~/.codex/config.toml:

model = "bytedance-seed/seed-1.6-flash"
model_provider = "openrouter"

[model_providers.openrouter]
name = "OpenRouter"
base_url = "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"
env_key = "OPENROUTER_API_KEY"

Put this in ~/.claude/settings.json, or variables in your shell:

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://openrouter.ai/api"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="$OPENROUTER_API_KEY"
export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="bytedance-seed/seed-1.6-flash"
