 ## LLM Configuration
 MacOS and Linux users can use any LLM that's available via Ollama. Check the "tags" section under the model page you want to use on https://ollama.ai/library and write the tag for the value of the environment variable `LLM=` in the `.env` file.
 All platforms can use GPT-3.5-turbo and GPT-4 (bring your own API keys for OpenAI models).
+All platforms can also use [OrcaRouter](https://www.orcarouter.ai) models by setting `LLM=orcarouter/<model>` (for example `orcarouter/fusion-mini`) and adding your `ORCAROUTER_API_KEY` to the `.env` file. OrcaRouter exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so the stack connects to it with the same LangChain `ChatOpenAI` integration used for OpenAI.
 
 **MacOS**
 Install [Ollama](https://ollama.ai) on MacOS and start it before running `docker compose up` using `ollama serve` in a separate terminal.
