Hello, how can we reproduce this? Could you share config and reproduction instructions?

Closing this issue as it appears to be an API key or OpenRouter account configuration issue rather than a bug in Continue. The 401 User not found error comes from OpenRouter when the API key is invalid, expired, or not properly configured.

To troubleshoot:

• Verify your OpenRouter API key is correct and active at https://openrouter.ai/settings/keys
• Make sure the key is properly set in your Continue configuration
• Test the key directly with OpenRouter's API to confirm it works

If you believe this is actually a bug in Continue, please open a new issue with details (your config, steps to reproduce, and confirmation that your API key works outside of Continue).
