There is a way, but it’s not fine

Hi there wupperpi, I think a few months ago I submitted a issue on the official N8N Github talking about this feature, its dumb that we aren’t able to select a provider on the OpenRouter Node, and yes, it sucks that the only way is using a HTTP Request, because that is really worthless when it comes to connect it as a model to AI Agents, I really hope this gets fixed in the near future.

Hi @wupperpi
I think it’s just working!
Just ignore the n8n warning and continue the execution, it will still work

I tested it on my end using the :nitro dynamic variant with another model as proof, and it worked. It selected the provider according to throughput, which is exactly what the :nitro variant is meant to do.
you can check your logs to see

So, you can ignore the n8n warning, and the dynamic variants should work as expected, in your case :floor
