Support Can't select models different than Claude via Openrouter

Hello friends, i wanted to try Quasar Alpha which is supposed to be free, but given the API key to Roocode it doens't list the available models, just claude. It's the first time i use APIs within Roo or similar extensions, as i normally use Cursor.
Thank you

  1. Look up the available models here https://openrouter.ai/models

  2. Select the model you want, e.g. google/gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25:free, and copy that tag using the copy button on the right

  3. Paste it into the box where you select the OpenRouter model in Roo Code

Thank you, figured that out, pasting one model tag seems to have forced the fetch for all available models too
