Aider

Status: Candidate setup, not yet verified by NexoRouter.

Aider can use OpenAI-compatible endpoints through the OpenAI provider path. Keep the first prompt read-only, then verify edits and Usage Logs.

Shell setup

export OPENAI_API_KEY="$NEXOROUTER_API_KEY"
export OPENAI_API_BASE="https://api.nexorouter.com/v1"

aider --model openai/deepseek-v4-flash

Keep these environment variables scoped to the shell session where you run Aider if you also use the official OpenAI API elsewhere.

First test

Read the project and summarize the main modules. Do not edit files.

Edit verification

After the read-only test succeeds:

1. Create a disposable branch.
2. Ask for a one-line documentation edit.
3. Review the diff manually.
4. Confirm Usage Logs show the expected model, tokens, cost, and request ID.

Known limits

• Some Aider versions may accept an unprefixed model name, but openai/<model> is the safer OpenAI-compatible form.
• Large repositories can hit context or cost limits quickly.
• Tool quality depends heavily on the selected model.
