+/**
+ * Idiomatic Vercel AI SDK example with OpenRouter provider
+ *
+ * This example demonstrates key AI SDK concepts:
+ * - Creating and configuring the OpenRouter provider
+ * - Using generateText for non-streaming chat completions
+ * - Using streamText for streaming responses
+ * - Defining and using tools (function calling)
+ * - Usage accounting to track token usage and costs
+ * - Multi-turn conversations with system messages
