Roo Code
Roo Code is an AI-powered coding assistant that integrates directly into your development environment, enabling you to interact with large language models (LLMs) for tasks such as code generation, refactoring, explanation, and debugging. It provides a configurable interface for selecting different model providers while maintaining a consistent, OpenAI-compatible interaction layer.
Roo Code supports OpenRouter as an API provider, allowing you to access a wide range of language models, including Arcee AI's Trinity models, through a single unified endpoint. This setup simplifies configuration, enables rapid experimentation across models, and centralizes authentication, usage tracking, and cost management.
This guide walks through how to configure Roo Code to use Trinity models via OpenRouter.
