    Opens your browser to log in.

    • One ZergAI login for ZTC in the terminal and the desktop app
    • Add provider keys once in Zerg Router, not on this machine
    • DeepSeek ready on Zerg Router billing, no DeepSeek key needed
    • Usage history, per-key daily budgets and a monthly cap on Router billing
    • Switch models any time with /model

  • Use your local API keys
