OpenRouter with a Silicon Valley Engineer

Change models freely, reduce costs, and prepare for outages. Practical LLM Development with OpenRouter — From API Integration to AI Agents You’ve built your first feature with the OpenAI API. But when you try to apply it to a real service, new questions begin to arise. “Claude is better at this task—do I need to rewrite the code?” “Do I really need to use an expensive model even for simple tasks?” “How much will API costs increase as the number of users grows?” “If a model provider experiences an outage, does our service have to stop too?” What you need now is the next step beyond API calls: the ability to choose among multiple models based on the situation while managing costs and outages. In this course, you’ll develop those skills firsthand using OpenRouter.
