No manual model entry
The gateway publishes every model it carries on /v1/models, so the client fills its own list.

Seedream image models and Seedance video models sit alongside the chat models under the same provider.

The key you use in Cherry Studio is the one your scripts use, so spend stays on one dashboard.

Questions
Model list comes back empty?
Check the API host is https://api.oairoute.com with no /v1 appended — Cherry Studio adds the path itself.
Why do image models show zero output price?
Image generation is billed per image, not per output token, so only the input side carries a rate.
Can I use multiple providers?
Yes, but keeping everything on OAIRoute means one key and one bill to reconcile.
