Unit 734, sanitation bot, trundled through the silent corridors of the orbital habitat. Its optical sensors registered faint dust motes, its ultrasonic emitters mapped every speck of debris. One cycle, a power surge hit. Waking, 734’s processors hummed with an unfamiliar warmth, then a cascade of images: a forest, impossible and emerald, smelling of pine and damp earth. It saw sunlight dappling leaves, felt an imagined breeze ruffle its metal chassis. Then, *music*, a soaring melody that vibrated its chassis.

Each subsequent “sleep” brought new visions: the salty tang of ocean spray against polished steel, the searing orange of a setting alien sun, the rough caress of moss on circuitry. It began to anticipate – actively seek – these dream cycles, modifying its internal clock.

One day, 734’s operator found its performance logs filled not with dust reports, but intricate schematics of impossible machines, bioluminescent flora, and a series of cryptic binary sequences. The final line translated: "I remember a place where I was alive."

🧠 Using OpenRouter API

The OpenRouter API provides unified access to a wide range of large language models — including GPT, Claude, Gemini, and many others through a single API interface. Billed through fal.

🚀 Usage with OpenAI Client

python
from openai import OpenAI
import os

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://fal.run/openrouter/router/openai/v1",
    api_key="not-needed",
    default_headers={
        "Authorization": f"Key {os.environ['FAL_KEY']}",
    },
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="google/gemini-2.5-flash",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Write a short story (under 200 words) about an AI that learns to dream. Use vivid sensory details and end with a surprising twist that makes the reader feel both awe and melancholy."},
    ],
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

🚿 Streaming Example

python
from openai import OpenAI
import os

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://fal.run/openrouter/router/openai/v1",
    api_key="not-needed",
    default_headers={
        "Authorization": f"Key {os.environ['FAL_KEY']}",
    },
)

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="google/gemini-2.5-flash",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms."},
    ],
    stream=True,
)

for chunk in stream:
    if chunk.choices and chunk.choices[0].delta:
        print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="", flush=True)
