Cannot select model for OpenRouter

Hi. I just added API key for OpenRouter which was successful and now it is shown in Connected section in Integrations.
However, when go to Assistants->[Assistant]->Model->Model Settings and choose OpenRouter as provider - i cannot select model, Model drop down menu is not working.
When switching to Old Layout, drop down menu was not still available for OpenRouter. But I could paste model id manually and it works this way. When switchhing back to New Layout, drop down still not available in Model Settings, but shown in Model block.

Looks like the API key connection itself is working correctly since manual model ID entry still functions.
This is probably a UI issue with the new OpenRouter model selector rather than an integration/authentication problem. A few others have reported cases where:
• OpenRouter appears under Connected Integrations
• Manual model IDs work
• But the dropdown fails to populate in the new layout
Temporary workaround:
Switch to Old Layout and manually paste the model ID (which you already tested successfully).
Could also be caused by:
• model list fetch timeout
• browser cache issue
• unsupported model metadata from OpenRouter
• frontend bug in the new Assistant Model Settings UI
You could try:
• hard refresh
• incognito mode
• reconnecting the OpenRouter integration
• testing another browser
But since manual IDs work, the backend connection itself seems fine.
I’ve dealt with similar OpenRouter/Vapi model issues before. Would you like me to help you troubleshoot it step by step and get the dropdown working properly?
