Run it on your own hardware

Weights are the sizes of the files a source lists, or an estimate from the parameter count where none does. Memory is an estimate: weights plus KV cache plus 512 MiB and 5 percent of the weights for runtime buffers. Check it against your hardware.

Use it from your harness

Set up for OpenRouter with the model baidu/ernie-4.5-vl-424b-a47b. Each endpoint page has the same setup for its own address.

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": {
        "baidu/ernie-4.5-vl-424b-a47b": {
          "name": "ERNIE 4.5 VL 424B A47B",
          "limit": {
            "context": 123000,
            "output": 16000
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
  • 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.

Pi

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

{
  "providers": {
    "openrouter": {
      "baseUrl": "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "$OPENROUTER_API_KEY",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "baidu/ernie-4.5-vl-424b-a47b"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
  • The apiKey field can name an environment variable as $NAME.

From Pi documentation, read .

Codex

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

model = "baidu/ernie-4.5-vl-424b-a47b"
model_provider = "openrouter"

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

From Codex documentation, read .

Claude Code

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="baidu/ernie-4.5-vl-424b-a47b"
claude
  • 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.
