llm-openrouter 0.7 Surfaces Reasoning Traces From Any OpenRouter Model
llm-openrouter 0.7 adds compatibility with LLM 0.32 and displays reasoning traces for models accessed through OpenRouter using its implementation of the OpenAI Responses API.
What it is
A plugin update for llm that connects it to models hosted on OpenRouter.
What it does
It updates the plugin for compatibility with LLM 0.32 and switches models to use OpenRouter's implementation of the Responses API, which lets it display the visible reasoning traces LLM 0.32 introduced support for.
Why it matters
Reasoning traces were one of the headline features in LLM 0.32; without this update, OpenRouter users couldn't actually see them even though the client supported it.
How to use it
Update with `llm install -U llm-openrouter`, then run any OpenRouter reasoning model through `llm` to see its reasoning trace inline.
