OpenRouter

Serenity Edge is available on OpenRouter as the provider Serenity Edge. If you already route your traffic through OpenRouter, this is the quickest way to try it: no new account, and billing stays on your OpenRouter balance.

How to use it​

  1. Open the model page on OpenRouter and look for Serenity Edge in the list of providers.
  2. In your request, pin the provider so that OpenRouter does not fall back to another one:
{
  "model": "qwen/qwen3.8-27b",
  "provider": {
    "order": ["Serenity Edge"],
    "allow_fallbacks": false
  },
  "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
}
  1. Send the request to https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions with your OpenRouter key.

With allow_fallbacks: false, a request that Serenity Edge cannot serve at that moment fails instead of being routed elsewhere. Keep it false if data residency is why you chose Serenity Edge.

The exact model slugs on OpenRouter, and which of the Orion ids are exposed there, are being finalised with OpenRouter. Check the provider list on the OpenRouter model page for the current names.

What is different from direct access​

  • Pricing. Serenity Edge's prices apply, plus OpenRouter's platform fee. See Pricing and limits.
  • Rate limits. OpenRouter's account limits apply first; Serenity Edge's per-provider limits apply after.
  • Data. OpenRouter processes the request before forwarding it. From Serenity Edge onwards the data policy applies unchanged: zero retention and inference in Spain.
  • Features. Streaming, tool calling and structured outputs work through OpenRouter. Provider-specific fields are passed through.

When to use direct access instead​

Get a key from a Serenity Star account when you need the Orion ids directly, the lowest latency, first-party invoicing in the EU, or a contract with a service level agreement.
