Description
Hi maintainers,
We'd like to propose adding [OrcaRouter](https://www.orcarouter.ai) as an optional AI provider alongside the providers already supported by the project.
OrcaRouter exposes an OpenAI-compatible API and uses standard API-key authentication, so the integration should be able to reuse the project's existing OpenAI/provider abstraction with minimal changes.
## What this would add
- Access to multiple chat, reasoning, image, and video models through one endpoint
- Automatic model routing and provider failover
- Standard API-key authentication
- Prompt caching
- Usage tracking, budgets, and team access controls
The integration would not replace or modify any existing provider. OrcaRouter would simply appear as another provider option that users can configure with their own API key.
## Existing OSS ecosystem
OrcaRouter is already integrated with or available across a growing open-source ecosystem, including RAGFlow, Dify, goose, promptfoo, NocoBase, DB-GPT, CAMEL, and models.dev / OpenCode.
## Partner program disclosure
OrcaRouter operates an optional open-source partner program. Approved OSS projects can receive a 5% revenue share from OrcaRouter usage attributed to their integration.
Participation in the partner program is not required for the provider integration, and we're happy to follow any disclosure or governance requirements maintained by the project.
More information:

If this sounds useful, we'd be happy to discuss the integration details and, with the maintainers' approval, open a PR with the implementation.
I'm an engineer on the OrcaRouter team.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing OpenAI/provider abstraction and the configuration path for provider API keys. Review how current providers are registered and tested; done means OrcaRouter is available as an optional provider using its API key without changing existing providers.
