OpenRouter Chat App

[Type]: AI Integration
[Language]: Python
[License]: MIT

> Overview

A streamlined AI chat interface that leverages OpenRouter's unified API to access multiple Large Language Model providers through a single endpoint. This project demonstrates practical implementation of LLM integration, focusing on creating a user-friendly interface while maintaining flexibility in model selection.

Built with a focus on simplicity and extensibility, this application serves as both a functional chat tool and a reference implementation for integrating various AI models into production applications.

> Key Features

Multi-Model Support

Access GPT-4, Claude, Llama, and other models through a unified interface

Stream Processing

Real-time response streaming for improved user experience

Context Management

Intelligent conversation history handling with token optimization

Error Handling

Robust error management with graceful fallbacks and user feedback

> Technical Implementation

The application leverages asynchronous Python programming to handle real-time streaming responses from multiple LLM providers through OpenRouter's unified API. Key technical decisions include:

The modular design separates API interaction, UI rendering, and state management into distinct components, making the codebase maintainable and easily extensible for features like conversation persistence, multi-user support, and usage analytics.
