Give any model a terminal and files
Blog post from OpenRouter
OpenRouter has introduced beta Shell and Bash server tools, a Files API, and hosted Linux containers that let any tool-calling model execute commands, process uploaded files, and retain outputs across related requests. The OpenAI-compatible `openrouter:shell` and Anthropic-compatible `openrouter:bash` tools can run commands in OpenRouter’s sandbox when configured with the `openrouter` engine, returning command output, errors, exit codes, and changed-file identifiers so models can iteratively diagnose and correct work. Containers are isolated per workspace, can be reused through session or container IDs, sleep after five minutes of inactivity, restrict network access by default, and preserve files created under the designated home directory. The Files API supports uploading inputs, attaching up to 20 files to containers as writable copies, downloading generated container files, and promoting retained outputs into workspace storage, while web search and shell can be combined to research information externally and create files without granting containers internet access. Sandbox execution costs $0.0001 per active second with a 30-second minimum for cold containers, Files API usage is included with a 10 GiB storage limit, and workspace administrators can disable individual server tools for all API, chatroom, and preset requests.
