When using OpenRouter, put something in the OPENAI_API_KEY= and you won't be asked to enter it. (it can be anything, but do not leave it blank or use user_provided)

What about PALM_KEY, how to switch to palm ?
I pick google/palm-2-chat-bison
but it end up using Open Router key (which cost $ instead of free with palm key)

with PaLM, it's easier to provide the json file in the UI. Look at this guide for the supported method: https://docs.librechat.ai/install/apis_and_tokens.html#googles-palm-2

I did provide PALM api key in .env
Then on the UI, how should i switch to palm mode ?
It does not show on a list of header/model selection.

There is no API key to set in .env for PaLM2. You have to provide the json file

If you've done this already, and you are using docker, you should rebuild: https://docs.librechat.ai/install/docker_compose_install.html#updating-librechat
