What You Asked Claude to Do

Claude (claude-sonnet-4-6) told me that OpenRouter supports image generation and recommended me to get an API key from OpenRouter. Based on this advice, I spent $5 on OpenRouter credits.

What Claude Actually Did

After spending the money, Claude said "OpenRouter does not support image generation." This was Claude's mistake, not mine.

I am requesting that Anthropic acknowledge this error and consider compensation or a refund.

OpenRouter does support image generation. Their documentation is here, feed that to your agent.
