Bring Your Own API Keys

OpenRouter has introduced a new feature called Bring Your Own API Keys (BYOK), allowing users to integrate their existing API keys and credits from major providers like OpenAI, Google Cloud, and AWS to enhance their use of OpenRouter. This feature offers several advantages, including higher rate limits by combining provider limits with those of OpenRouter, enabling the use of free models, and utilizing third-party credits efficiently. Additionally, BYOK provides unified analytics by allowing users to track all their large language model (LLM) usage through a single Activity dashboard. The service is available at 5% of the upstream provider's cost, offering the combined benefits of OpenRouter's capabilities and users' pre-existing resources.
