I've just installed goose after failing so many agents and CLIs before...
had trouble running gemma 4 locally using the goose app so I moved to API
I have a functioning openrouter api that I tested and it works perfectly
I select any free model and get the output

once I type any message:
"Ran into this error: Authentication error: Authentication failed. Status: 401 Unauthorized. Response: User not found..

Please retry if you think this is a transient or recoverable error."

I configured it through the app itself went to models selected openai provider tried multiple models big small made sure to close goose fully from task manager and it's processes

diagnostics_20260411_7.zip

and it will keep saying the same thing once I send it any message

Windows 11
Interface UI
version 1.30.0
Openrouter, any model
default settings everything else in goose I only tried to send a message after adding my api
