Ask Prime any question. In the LLM trace you’ll see provider=openai.
The full model list is in the models catalog. Qorven’s catalog keeps costs + context windows + capability flags up to date weekly from the providers.

​
Rate limits & failover

Qorven supports multiple keys per provider. When one rate-limits, the next is tried automatically. When all keys on a provider are exhausted, failover moves to the next provider in your priority list. Failover →

Common issues

Key is wrong, expired, or from the wrong org. Test with qorven providers verify openai.
Provider is throttling. Add another key, or lower your Qor’s model to a less-busy tier. Failover handles this automatically if configured.
Usually a missed top-up. Check the provider’s billing dashboard. Qorven will fail over to the next provider; flag loudly if all are exhausted.
Check your QORVEN_OUTBOUND_TIMEOUT (default 120s). Some local models need more. For OpenAI specifically: check your network egress allows the provider’s domain.
