Releasellm-openrouter 0.6— LLM plugin for models hosted by OpenRouter
* `llm openrouter refresh` command for refreshing the list of available models without waiting for the cache to expire.

Here's its pelican - this time as an HTML page because Kimi chose to include an HTML and JavaScript UI to control the animation. Transcript here.
