LiteLLM Proxy can route an OpenAI-compatible model entry to AI ROUTER. First
export an API key and select a current model ID returned by authenticated
GET /v1/models.
export AI_ROUTER_API_KEY="replace_with_your_api_key"
export AI_ROUTER_MODEL="model_id_from_your_models_response"Use the model ID in the LiteLLM configuration. Replace the placeholder below
with the value of AI_ROUTER_MODEL; do not include the literal placeholder in
the final YAML.
model_list:
- model_name: ai-router-selected-model
litellm_params:
model: openai/MODEL_ID_FROM_AI_ROUTER
api_base: https://api.ai-router.dev/v1
api_key: os.environ/AI_ROUTER_API_KEYapi_base must point to the API endpoint, including /v1, rather than the
website root. Keep the API key in the environment or another secret manager.
This is a LiteLLM Proxy configuration: client applications call the LiteLLM
endpoint, and LiteLLM forwards the selected model to AI ROUTER.
- Start LiteLLM with the configuration.
- Send one short request to
ai-router-selected-model. - Confirm the requested model ID and usage in your LiteLLM logs and the AI ROUTER dashboard.
- Test streaming and tool calls separately if you enable them.
