CPP OpenRouter Interface

Project information

C++ LLM Client Using OpenRouter API

This project demonstrates how to integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) into native C++ applications using the OpenRouter API.

Key Features

OpenRouter API Integration Connect to a wide range of AI models via OpenRouter's unified API endpoint.

C++ Implementation Written in modern C++ for portability and efficiency.

Command-Line Interface Simple text-based interface for interacting with AI models.

Easy Configuration Set your API key and preferred model in a config.json file: api_key, url, model. Example:

{ "api_key": "", "url": "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions", "model": "deepseek/deepseek-r1-0528-qwen3-8b:free" }

Dependencies

C++11-compliant and forward-compatible

libcurl (for HTTP requests)

nlohmann/json (for JSON parsing)
