A comprehensive guide for auditing and ensuring regulatory compliance (SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA) when integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) via OpenRouter. It covers best practices for data handling, access control, PII redaction, implementing robust audit trails, and configuring provider routing to maintain data sovereignty and meet strict industry standards.

A comprehensive guide on implementing failover and fallback mechanisms for Large Language Models (LLMs) when using OpenRouter. This skill covers native model fallbacks, provider routing strategies, and advanced client-side fallback chains. Use this pattern when building mission-critical or highly resilient systems that must maintain service availability even if a primary model or an entire provider goes offline. It ensures robust API integration and graceful degradation.

This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for setting up and authenticating with the OpenRouter API. It covers generating secure API keys, configuring environment variables, and initializing clients in Python and TypeScript. Learn best practices for secure integration, including key management, verification, and key rotation, ensuring reliable connectivity to various large language models (LLMs).

This skill provides comprehensive tools to monitor the real-time availability, status, and performance of various large language models (LLMs) accessed via OpenRouter. It supports active health probes, catalog checks, and scheduled monitoring via Python and Bash, ensuring robust fault detection and failover logic for production systems that rely on external AI APIs.

OpenRouter provides a unified API gateway to access leading AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, etc.) from a single endpoint. This skill is essential for developers who need to compare model performance (latency, tokens) across different providers, build resilient cross-provider fallback workflows, or manage complex AI pipelines without writing provider-specific code. It supports feature normalization and BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) for high-volume production use.

This skill guides developers on migrating their codebase from direct OpenAI API calls to using OpenRouter. By making minimal changes—primarily updating the base URL and API key—users gain access to over 400 models from multiple providers (including Anthropic and Google) through a unified SDK interface, ensuring high compatibility and flexible model switching.

This skill provides comprehensive best practices and Python code examples for optimizing API calls to Large Language Models (LLMs) via OpenRouter. It covers benchmarking model latency, implementing streaming to achieve low Time-To-First-Token (TTFT), and processing requests concurrently using asynchronous programming (asyncio). Use this when developing real-time, high-throughput applications that require predictable and fast model responses.

Flash Attention optimizer delivers 2-4x speedup and 10-20x memory savings for transformer attention, ideal when training or running long-context models that hit GPU memory or latency limits; supports PyTorch native scaled_dot_product_attention, the flash-attn library, H100 FP8 precision, and sliding-window attention.

This comprehensive runbook provides step-by-step procedures for rapidly responding to Perplexity API outages and service degradations. It covers initial triage (checking models, auth, DNS), handling common errors (401, 429, 500/503), implementing fallbacks, and structured post-incident activities, including evidence collection and postmortem documentation.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide to configuring the Perplexity Sonar API across distinct operational environments (development, staging, and production). It details how to manage environment-specific API keys, enforce tailored rate limits, select appropriate models (e.g., sonar vs. sonar-pro), and implement cost optimization strategies. Use this when migrating or integrating Perplexity search functionality into a multi-tier, production-grade application architecture.

This comprehensive guide assists developers in migrating their code and API calls when Perplexity updates its model generations or changes API parameters. It provides a clear map from legacy models (pplx-api) to the current Sonar family (sonar, sonar-pro), covering model name changes, base URL updates, parameter adjustments, and SDK upgrade steps. Use this guide whenever you encounter deprecation warnings or need to ensure compatibility with the latest Perplexity Sonar models.

A guide to building robust projections and read models from continuous event streams. This pattern is essential for implementing CQRS read sides, creating materialized views, optimizing query performance, and building complex search indexes in event-sourced architectures. Use it when data needs to be transformed and aggregated from raw events into optimized query structures.
