MODELS
Pareto Code Router
by OpenRouter
Overview
Coding-focused OpenRouter router that selects among strong coding models using Artificial Analysis coding percentiles.
Details
Pareto Code Router is documented by OpenRouter as the model identifier `openrouter/pareto-code`. The Pareto Router maintains a tiered shortlist of strong coding models ranked by Artificial Analysis coding percentiles. OpenRouter’s documentation describes it as a coding-score-based model selection router that can consider coding percentile, price, and fallback behavior, with a `min_coding_score` parameter between 0 and 1 for controlling the minimum coding-score threshold used during routing.
When to Use
Use when you want an OpenRouter model target for coding tasks that routes across a shortlist of strong coding models rather than pinning one model directly. Use when you need to control routing quality for coding by setting `min_coding_score` between 0 and 1. Use when you want routing behavior documented as considering coding percentile, price, and fallback behavior.
Getting Started
- Open the Pareto Code Router page at https://openrouter.ai/openrouter/pareto-code.
- Review the Pareto Router documentation for `openrouter/pareto-code` and the `min_coding_score` parameter.
- Create or use an OpenRouter API key.
- Call an OpenRouter chat completions, responses, or messages endpoint with `model` set to `openrouter/pareto-code`, as shown in the API quickstart.
