OpenRouter

Product changes

• Rankings percentage toggle -- Bar charts on the rankings page now have a menu button that lets you switch between percentage-normalized and raw token-volume views.
• Activity deep links to individual messages -- You can now deep-link to a specific message inside the Activity prompt overlay by appending ?message=<n> to the URL, and the selected row stays in sync as you navigate with prev/next buttons. Docs
• Fixed: media_resolution parameter silently dropped for Gemini models -- Sending media_resolution (e.g. MEDIA_RESOLUTION_MEDIUM) to Gemini models now correctly forwards the value to Gemini's generationConfig, changing image token counts as expected.
• Fixed: image generation returning empty errors for some providers -- Image generation requests to providers that return non-streaming binary data (e.g. base64 images) now correctly deliver the generated image instead of an empty {} error.

• Rankings daily dataset endpoint -- A new GET /api/v1/datasets/rankings-daily endpoint returns the top-50 models by daily token volume, matching the data behind the public rankings chart. SDK reference
• IP allowlist enforcement -- API keys configured with an IP allowlist now actively block requests from non-allowlisted IPs with a 403 response, upgrading the previous observe-only mode. Docs
• Auto router cost_quality_tradeoff parameter -- The auto router now accepts a cost_quality_tradeoff integer (0–10) instead of the previous binary tradeoff, giving finer control over the cost-versus-quality balance when routing requests. Docs
• Fixed: dashboard not refreshing on account switch -- Switching between accounts in the dashboard now correctly remounts the page so data reflects the selected account.

• Fixed: profile API keys scoping in organizations -- API keys on the profile page now correctly display only the current user's keys when viewing within an organization context.

Product changes

• Export all chats from playground -- Added an "Export All Chats" option to the chatroom sidebar menu to download all conversations as a single JSON file.
