Von Updates #1 — OpenRouter, Cheaper Models, Stability & More!
Hey everyone!
We’re back with our first official Von Updates post—and it’s a big one. From cost savings to deeper OpenRouter support, here’s everything we’ve rolled out this week and what’s coming next.
🔑 OpenRouter Key Integration (Self-Serve)
You asked. We shipped.
You can now bring your own OpenRouter key into Von with just one click. Whether you're experimenting with Claude, Gemini, or other top-tier models, you have full control over your LLM usage. No rate limits. No gatekeeping. Just plug and play.
💡 Try it under your project settings and let us know how it goes!
💸 Model Costs: Cut in Half
Yes, you read that right.
We’ve reduced the cost of using Von’s default models by 50%. Whether you’re coding, designing, or building internal tools, your credits now go twice as far.
This is part of our mission to make AI-native development accessible and sustainable for all builders.
🛠️ Stability & Bug Fixes
We’ve squashed a bunch of bugs and made core improvements under the hood. Von should feel noticeably snappier, more reliable, and less buggy, especially in longer sessions or large projects.
If you still run into issues, hit us up—we’re listening.
📁 You Can See Your Projects Now
Yes, this was a real issue.
Previously, some users could only see their chat history, but not the full projects they were working on. That’s now fixed.
You’ll now see your complete project list!
Thanks for bearing with us while we sorted that out.
🧠 Coming Up Next: Custom Model Selection
We’re working on something big:
You’ll soon be able to add any model from OpenRouter directly into Von, on-demand. That means dynamic switching between Claude Gemini, and even free models on OpenRouter etc., right from your project.
No vendor lock-in. Just flexibility and speed.
Thanks again to everyone using Von, breaking it, and helping us improve it every day. We're building this with you, not just for you.
If you haven’t yet, jump into the playground and give the new features a spin.
We’d love to hear what you think.
— Team Von 💜
