Problem

OpenRouter, DigitalOcean and Venice all serve OpenAI's Responses API at /responses, but their providers in @opencode/ai only had Chat Completions routes. To use Responses with them you had to go through the generic openai-compatible/responses entry point and set the base URL, auth and provider ID yourself.

Change

I added a responses route to each provider. Each one reuses the shared Open Responses protocol and has the same defaults as the generic Responses route (store: false, encrypted reasoning included). It also uses the provider's own base URL, API key env vars and provider metadata key.

 OpenRouter.configure()
   model(id)       -> openrouter              (Chat, unchanged)
+  responses(id)   -> openrouter-responses    POST https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/responses
 DigitalOcean.configure()
   model(id)       -> digitalocean            (Chat, unchanged)
+  responses(id)   -> digitalocean-responses  POST https://inference.do-ai.run/v1/responses
 Venice.configure()
   model(id) / chat(id) -> venice-chat        (unchanged)
+  responses(id)   -> venice-responses        POST https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/responses

Each provider also gets a package entry point, following the existing subpath convention, and core lists them in its built-in loader map and its reasoning-effort table:

• @opencode/ai/providers/openrouter/responses
• @opencode/ai/providers/digitalocean/responses
• @opencode/ai/providers/venice/responses

Each provider's default model() stays on Chat, so existing callers see no change. Freeform (custom) tools, reasoning replay and the other Responses features now work through these routes.

I recorded cassettes against all three live APIs on a GPT-5.4 mini model. They cover a streamed text reply, a full tool loop, and a freeform { type: "text" } tool call.

Out of scope

• OpenRouter's Responses endpoint rejects a named custom tool_choice ({ type: "custom", name }). It accepts required. I left the request as is rather than rewriting it on the client.
• OpenRouter-specific body options (provider, plugins, models) are only typed on the Chat route. On the Responses route they can still be sent through body.
• models.dev still points these providers' [api.responses] entries at @opencode/ai/providers/openai-compatible/responses. They can move to the new entry points once this version is published.

Public API: adds Responses routes and @opencode/ai/providers/{openrouter,digitalocean,venice}/responses entry points (backwards compatible)

[opencodejr]

The new Responses routes do what the description says, and each provider's default model() still uses Chat. The recorded tests and the full packages/ai suite pass, and tsc --noEmit is clean for packages/ai and packages/core.

Public API: additions only, backwards compatible:

• OpenRouter, DigitalOcean and Venice each gain responses(id) on the configured provider, plus top-level responses and responsesModel exports.
• New routes entries: openrouter-responses, digitalocean-responses and venice-responses.
• New subpath exports: @opencode/ai/providers/{openrouter,digitalocean,venice}/responses.
• Settings becomes generic, with the old type as its default, and Config.providerOptions also accepts Responses options.

Existing callers don't need to change.

One gap: core's reasoning-effort table in packages/core/src/variant.ts (PROTOCOLS) has no entries for the three new entry points, so once models.dev moves to them those models lose their reasoning-effort options (see inline comment).

[opencodejr]

These entry points are added to the loader, but core's reasoning-effort table in packages/core/src/variant.ts (PROTOCOLS) has no entries for them, so Variant.resolve returns []. I checked with an effort-capable model: @opencode/ai/providers/openai-compatible/responses gives 2 variants and each of the three new .../responses packages gives 0. Once models.dev points [api.responses] at these, those models would lose their reasoning-effort options. Could you map them to openResponses, as openai-compatible/responses is, and add a case to test/variant.test.ts?

[opencodejr]

The new commit fixes the reasoning-effort gap: the three new .../responses entry points are now mapped to openResponses in variant.ts. I checked that Variant.resolve now gives effort options for each of them, the core variant tests pass, and tsc --noEmit is clean for packages/core. The public API impact is the same as in my earlier review (additions only, backwards compatible). Nothing else to raise.
