OpenRouter is OpenAI compatible you can provide them with your OpenAI API key. You literally said that yourself in your own answer what is going on here?

"This would let users connect their existing OpenAI-compatible gateway, such as OpenRouter, Together AI, DeepInfra, AWS or LLM Gateway."

Yes, but having an OpenAI-Compatible API option would allow users to connect other OpenAI-compatible providers as well. This gives users more flexibility, especially those who don’t use OpenRouter and want to keep using their existing AI gateway.

On the same topic, does BYOK support both text LLMs and image generation models?

I am not sure if you read my answer:

OpenRouter is OpenAI compatible you can provide them with your OpenAI API key.
You can do exactly that, use your OpenAI API key, provide it to OpenRouter and it will be used instead of charging you.

I read it carefully, thanks. Currently, Writeseed’s BYOK feature is restricted to OpenRouter only.

What alternative do prospective users have if they want to connect their existing OpenAI-compatible gateway and don’t use OpenRouter?

Btw, several competing AI gateways already offer the same API routing features you mentioned, including analytics, and for free.

"This would let users connect their existing OpenAI-compatible gateway, such as OpenRouter, Together AI, DeepInfra, AWS or LLM Gateway."

OpenRouter is what we offer which is OpenAI-compatible.

Thanks for your clarification. Totally fair.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to use my main and fallback AI Gateways. Well, too bad for me, I guess 🙃
