Release llm-openrouter 0.6 — LLM plugin for models hosted by OpenRouter
  • llm openrouter refresh command for refreshing the list of available models without waiting for the cache to expire.

I added this feature so I could try Kimi 2.6 on OpenRouter as soon as it became available there.

Here's its pelican - this time as an HTML page because Kimi chose to include an HTML and JavaScript UI to control the animation. Transcript here.

The bicycle is about right. The pelican is OK. It is pedaling furiously and flapping its wings a bit. Controls below the animation provide a pause button and sliders for controlling the speed and the wing flap.
