Problem
API Route is OpenAI-compatible and can already be configured manually in Zero,
but users need to enter the endpoint, API key environment variable, and model manually.
A built-in provider preset would make setup easier and allow API Route to appear
in Zero's existing provider catalog and setup flow.
Proposed behavior
Add a focused API Route provider preset using Zero's existing
OpenAI-compatible provider implementation.
Suggested configuration:
apirouteAPI RouteAPI_ROUTE_API_KEY/modelsdiscovery if supportedNo new transport or dependency should be required.
Why this belongs in Zero
API Route provides access to multiple major LLM families through a single
OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Users can already configure it manually today, so this proposal mainly improves
discoverability and setup UX.
Alternatives
Users can continue using Zero's custom OpenAI-compatible provider configuration,
but that requires manual setup every time.
If the maintainers are open to this, I can prepare a small, focused implementation
with tests and documentation.
