Document the openai provider in all setup paths.

LLM_PROVIDER lists openai as supported, and the backend supports it. This README still lists only OpenRouter and OrcaRouter in the overview, prerequisite, and environment examples. It also omits OPENAI_API_KEY and OPENAI_MODEL. A user who selects LLM_PROVIDER=openai cannot complete the documented setup. Add OpenAI to these provider lists and add its configuration example.

Also applies to: 58-58, 68-68, 162-162, 194-198, 207-229

Return the model for the active provider.

LLM_PROVIDER=openai is documented, and Settings defines openai_model. This property returns openrouter_model for openai, so CLI help and processing logs report the wrong default model. Add an explicit openai branch before the OpenRouter fallback.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the shared concurrency limit for OpenAI calls.

The CLI passes a semaphore to the dispatcher, but the OpenAI async branch calls asyncio.to_thread without acquiring it. With LLM_PROVIDER=openai, --parallel no longer bounds in-flight LLM calls, which can cause avoidable rate-limit failures. Acquire the supplied semaphore around the OpenAI call, including the CLI call site that passes it.

Forward model overrides to the OpenAI provider.

The provider-neutral API and CLI accept a model override, but the OpenAI branch drops it and always uses settings.openai_model. With LLM_PROVIDER=openai, explicit model selections are silently ignored. Pass the model through _generate_openai and use it when provided.

Hey @dulcestentaciones2920-debug, Thanks for the detailed writeup and for the live test.
I wouldn't merge it in this shape. services/orcarouter.py is a line-for-line copy of services/openrouter.py; diffing the two, the only differences are the base URL, the settings attribute names, and the word "OpenRouter" in the log strings. Everything else — the OpenAI SDK client.

So the feature you want is really a single setting, not a provider abstraction:

# app/config.py
openrouter_base_url: str = "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"
# app/services/openrouter.py — in both client factories
base_url=settings.openrouter_base_url,
With that, OrcaRouter needs no code at all:

OPENROUTER_BASE_URL=https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-orca-...
OPENROUTER_MODEL=google/gemini-2.5-flash

That's ~5 changed lines instead of 250, and it also covers other providers
