feat(example): add OrcaRouter as a selectable LLM provider for description generation - #246
Conversation
…ption generation Add OrcaRouter as a first-class, named LLM provider alongside OpenRouter in the sie-hugging-face-mteb-semantic-search example. A new LLM_PROVIDER setting selects the provider (defaults to openrouter), and the new orcarouter service mirrors the existing openrouter wiring against https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe example now supports OpenRouter, OrcaRouter, and OpenAI through configurable provider selection. Shared backend dispatch, OrcaRouter clients, model resolution, CLI integration, environment examples, README content, and frontend labels were updated. ChangesConfigurable LLM provider support

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds selectable OrcaRouter routing, but the current head also causes OpenAI model overrides to be ignored and CLI concurrency limits to be bypassed; provider defaults can be misreported, unsupported provider names can silently fall back, and the UI and setup documentation can use or describe the wrong configuration. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

The frontend defaults

Return the model for the active provider.
LLM_PROVIDER=openai is documented, and Settings defines openai_model. This property returns openrouter_model for openai, so CLI help and processing logs report the wrong default model. Add an explicit openai branch before the OpenRouter fallback.

Reject unsupported provider values
Settings.llm_provider is a plain str without validation. Values other than "orcarouter" and "openai" therefore reach the OpenRouter fallback. Validate the setting or handle "openrouter" explicitly and raise an error for unsupported values.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Preserve the shared concurrency limit for OpenAI calls.
The CLI passes a semaphore to the dispatcher, but the OpenAI async branch calls asyncio.to_thread without acquiring it. With LLM_PROVIDER=openai, --parallel no longer bounds in-flight LLM calls, which can cause avoidable rate-limit failures. Acquire the supplied semaphore around the OpenAI call, including the CLI call site that passes it.

Forward model overrides to the OpenAI provider.
The provider-neutral API and CLI accept a model override, but the OpenAI branch drops it and always uses settings.openai_model. With LLM_PROVIDER=openai, explicit model selections are silently ignored. Pass the model through _generate_openai and use it when provided.

Document the openai provider in all setup paths.
LLM_PROVIDER lists openai as supported, and the backend supports it. This README still lists only OpenRouter and OrcaRouter in the overview, prerequisite, and environment examples. It also omits OPENAI_API_KEY and OPENAI_MODEL. A user who selects LLM_PROVIDER=openai cannot complete the documented setup. Add OpenAI to these provider lists and add its configuration example.

Add OrcaRouter as a first-class LLM provider for description generation
This example app — the MTEB semantic-search tool for picking SIE models —
currently reaches OpenRouter directly from
backend/app/services/openrouter.pyfor LLM-generated descriptions. This PR adds OrcaRouter
as a named, first-class provider that mirrors that exact OpenRouter wiring,
so SIE users can drive the description pipeline through OrcaRouter without
treating it as an anonymous custom base URL.

Set
LLM_PROVIDER=orcarouterinbackend/.envwithORCAROUTER_API_KEYand the example's CLI and UI use OrcaRouter for the 6K/2K/200-char description
generation pipeline. The default remains OpenRouter, so existing deployments
are unaffected.
OrcaRouter is an OpenAI-compatible AI gateway built for both models and
agents. Like OpenRouter, it exposes a provider/model namespace across many
models — but it also combines adaptive routing, automatic failover,
zero-markup inference, observability, guardrails, and agent-tool governance
behind the same endpoint. Adding
orcarouteras a first-class provider meansthis project's users can use that stack directly, without treating OrcaRouter
as an anonymous custom base URL. It also runs gateway-level, zero-trust
security for AI agents on the same endpoint — screening every prompt/response
and governing every tool call on a default-deny basis, with no application
code changes.
Verification
python -m py_compilepasses on all changed modules.LLM_PROVIDER=orcarouterand a real key, both the syncand async
generate_textpaths returned a completion fromhttps://api.orcarouter.ai/v1(HTTP 200).Notes
OPENROUTER_API_KEYandORCAROUTER_API_KEYremain separate; no key isshared between providers.
requirements.txtalready pulls inopenai>=2.0.0, whichboth provider modules use, so no new dependency is needed.
