### Endpoint

POST https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/audio/speech

Headers:
- Content-Type: application/json

### Request fields (qwen/qwen-audio-3.0-tts-flash)

- model: string (required) — `"qwen/qwen-audio-3.0-tts-flash"`
- input: string (required) — text to synthesize
- voice: "loongjohn" | "longanhuan_v3.6" (optional) — provider-specific voice identifier
- response_format: "mp3" | "pcm" (optional) — output audio encoding; defaults to pcm

### Response

Success returns raw audio bytes, not JSON.

- `Content-Type` identifies the audio encoding, such as `audio/mpeg` or `audio/pcm`.
- `X-Generation-Id` identifies the billed generation.
- Write the response body directly to an audio file; do not call `response.json()`.

curl https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/audio/speech \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENROUTER_API_KEY" \
  --output output.mp3 \
  -d '{
  "model": "qwen/qwen-audio-3.0-tts-flash",
  "input": "The warm light flows across the OpenRouter office as the evening settles in and the routing never stops. One interface, hundreds of models. Ready when you are.",
  "voice": "loongjohn",
  "response_format": "mp3"
}'
```
