Failed to deploy with OpenRouter Key

[greyishsong]

Environment

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04 via Docker
• Python: 3.12.3
• Node.js: 18.19.1
• LLM Provider: OpenRouter

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a container with docker run -itd --name open-pulse --network host ubuntu:24.04 /bin/bash
2. Install dependencies following README (uv for Python packages)
3. Create a .env file as follows: (API keys are masked)

   # LLM API Keys
   OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-xxxx
   
   MODEL_ID = "openai/gpt-4o-mini"
   
   # Google Gemini API Key (for image generation)
   GOOGLE_API_KEY=AIxxxx
   
   # Custom Readers API Keys(optional)
   JINA_API_KEY=jina_xxxx
   
   # Database
   DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///./open_pulse.db
   
   # AgentOS Configuration
   AGENTOS_PORT=7777
   AGENTOS_HOST=0.0.0.0
   
   # Telemetry (optional)
   AGNO_TELEMETRY=false
   
   #for Gmail
   GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here
   GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret_here
   GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id_here
   GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost  # Default value
   

4. Start the backend / frontend process in Tmux
5. Visit http://localhost:3000 and type anything in the chat window
6. Error message is shown on UI

   Oops! Something went wrong while streaming. The api_key client option must be set either by passing api_key to the client or by setting the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable
