None of the "No Auth" providers work

[VR3Dcz]

Hi,

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but none of the "No Auth" providers work:

Cloudflare AI Playground: [502]: Cloudflare Playground browser session failed: browserType.launch: Executable doesn't exist at (all models return this error)
Devin CLI Agentic Bridge: [500]: DEVIN_AGENTIC_HOME must be an absolute path inside the bridge sandbox
OpenAI Codex (App-Server): [503]: Codex app-server transport is not configured (missing url or token)
OpenCode Free: [403]: Error from provider (Console): OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode or No active credentials for provider: opencode.
UncloseAI: [502]: Unknown error
ZCode (GLM Coding Plan): Stream ended before producing a non-ping SSE event

It literally says "No authentication required This provider is ready to use immediately — no signup or API key needed." so why is none of them working?
Using OmniRoute v3.8.51.
Thanks.

Ahah, the same thing:

AI Horde: [401]: You didn't provide an API key. You need to provide your API key in an Authorization header using Bearer [REDACTED] (i.e. Authorization: [REDACTED] (I registered there and add my key, but it still not works)
Arena (Free): [401]: Arena API error: 401
Claude Web: [403]: Claude Web API error (403)
DuckDuckGo AI Chat: [418]: DuckDuckGo AI Chat anti-abuse challenge failed: ERR_BN_LIMIT (7b08). Retry later or from a less rate-limited IP; DuckDuckGo is rejecting this anonymous session.
OpenCode Free[oc/big-pickle] : [403]: Error from provider (Console): OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode
OpenCode Free[oc/deepseek-v4-flash-free] : [400]: Error from provider (Console): Upstream request failed: Model is unavailable.
UncloseAI: [502]: Unknown error

and etc.

@VR3Dcz @x1arch Thanks for listing every error. Most of these are not broken providers. They're missing prerequisites that the banner hides, and the banner is wrong: "ready to use immediately, no signup or API key needed" is only true for some of them. That's tracked in #15326. Going through what you posted, with what I verified in the code:

Provider	What the error means	What to do
Cloudflare AI Playground (browserType.launch: Executable doesn't exist)	It drives a headless Chromium through Playwright, and the browser binary isn't installed.	npm install: cd "$(npm root -g)/omniroute" && npx playwright install chromium, then restart. Docker: use the -web image, which bundles Chromium.
Devin CLI Agentic Bridge (DEVIN_AGENTIC_HOME must be an absolute path)	A local-CLI bridge. It needs the env var set.	Set DEVIN_AGENTIC_HOME to an absolute bridge path (docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md). Skip it if you don't use Devin CLI.
OpenAI Codex (App-Server) (transport is not configured)	It drives a local codex app-server and needs its URL/token.	Skip it unless you run that app-server.
ZCode (Stream ended before producing a non-ping SSE event)	It talks to the local ZCode app-server and its own login.	Skip it unless ZCode is installed and logged in on that machine.
OpenCode Free (403 … only be used from within OpenCode)	The upstream accepts only requests that look like the OpenCode client. A dashboard "Test" request doesn't.	Use it from a real tool-carrying client (OpenCode, Claude Code, an agent); the discussion in #14139 has the details.
DuckDuckGo AI Chat (418 … ERR_BN_LIMIT)	DuckDuckGo's anti-abuse check rejecting that IP, not an OmniRoute error.	Retry later, or from another network.
Claude Web (403)	This is a cookie provider, not a no-auth one. It needs your claude.ai session cookie.	Add the cookie, or ignore it if you don't use Claude Web.
UncloseAI (502 Unknown error)	I can't tell from the message. The provider's own hint says older built-in models can return 404.	On its page, Available Models → Import from /models, then retry with a model from that list.
Arena (Free) (401)	I haven't traced this one.	Please tell me which model you called and paste the app.log lines for one failure.

AI Horde is the one I can't explain. The code uses Horde's documented anonymous key, so it should answer without an account, and a key you registered should also work. A 401 … You didn't provide an API key doesn't fit either case. @x1arch, did you add your key in an AI Horde connection, or in the model picker? What version are you on, and can you paste the app.log lines for one failed request, with the key redacted? That will tell me whether the key reaches Horde in the wrong form.

If you use "Test all" on the whole No Auth list, expect most of these to fail until their prerequisite is in place. Only test the ones you plan to use.

Thanks for info, I will try it. You should add some info text on provider's page if there such prerequsities, because users have no idea about it.

@VR3Dcz Thanks, and you're right: users have no way to know about those prerequisites from the provider page, which still says "ready to use immediately". That's what #15326 is about: showing each provider's real requirement on its own page instead of the generic banner. If you try the steps (the Chromium install for Cloudflare Playground in particular) and a provider still fails, tell me which one and the error.

Following up, @VR3Dcz @x1arch: the banner problem is fixed in #15363 (merged), which makes a No Auth provider's page show its real requirement instead of the generic "ready to use immediately" text. It's merged into the development branch for the next release (3.8.52), so it is not in the 3.8.51 you're running. Until you're on a build with it, the prerequisites in the table above still apply.
