Ramp Router ([router.com](http://router.com)) joins as a model provider, and the xAI SuperGrok model now authenticates with device-code OAuth so you can connect it without pasting a long-lived key.

See the [Ramp Router cookbook](https://github.com/agno-agi/agno/blob/main/cookbook/90_models/ramp/basic.py), and learn more about [xAI SuperGrok's device-code OAuth](https://docs.agno.com/examples/models/xai/oauth-device-login).
