      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://api.lowrouter.ai/v1",
        "apiKey": "{env:LOWROUTER_API_KEY}"
      },

• 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.

Put this in ~/.pi/agent/models.json:

{
  "providers": {
    "lowrouter": {
      "baseUrl": "https://api.lowrouter.ai/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "$LOWROUTER_API_KEY",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "auto/mistralai/codestral-2508"
        }
      ]
    }

Codex speaks only the Responses API, and LowRouter documents no Responses address. A gateway that offers one can sit in between.

• Codex speaks the Responses API only: responses is the one supported wire API of a custom provider. Ollama and LM Studio are built in and start with --oss.

Claude Code sends Anthropic Messages requests, and LowRouter documents no such address. A gateway that translates to that API can sit in between.

• Claude Code sends Anthropic Messages requests to ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL. Anthropic says it does not support routing Claude Code to models other than Claude through any gateway, so some features may not work with another model.
