Aider + OrcaRouter

Aider is a terminal-based AI pair programmer that edits your codebase via git commits. It speaks the OpenAI API natively — export two environment variables and every Aider session routes through OrcaRouter.

Why route Aider through OrcaRouter?

Aider's long-running edit loops benefit enormously from OrcaRouter's automatic failover — a mid-session provider outage no longer nukes an hour of context. And because you're paying zero markup, you can run Aider with the best model without worrying about a router's margin inflating your bill.
