Will this lock us into another vendor?

No. The router is Apache-2.0 open source, your provider keys stay yours, and the API is OpenAI-compatible, so leaving is a change of base URL.

How much can we save on our LLM bill?

On the public benchmark the router saved 89% against sending everything to the reference model. Import last month's provider bill on the bill page and the estimate is computed on your own traffic before you change a line of code.

How do we compare AI gateways and routers?

The compare pages score each product against the same documented capabilities and say when the review was done; the benchmark page shows measured cost and quality, including the cases the router lost.

Providers

One endpoint, every provider behind it.

This deployment has no model provider connected yet: its 27 targets are routed, quoted and explained, and 3 of them answer here without one. Connect your own provider under Model providers in the dashboard, or ask the operator to add one.

Executable targets

Each row is a routing target the OpenAI-compatible proxy can answer with, the upstream model it runs as and what a million tokens cost. Targets without a provider still take part in decisions, plans and quotes; see all routing targets.

Programmatic access: GET /api/v1/providers (no key required), GET /v1/models with a key. Operators manage providers on the console; see the platform guide.

Your keys, your providers

Connect the provider accounts you already pay for, and the router spends them where each is cheapest.

A workspace can bring its own keys for any provider on this page; they are stored encrypted, never shown again, and every request that runs on them appears in your usage with the provider that answered and what it cost. Point the OpenAI-compatible endpoint at a target, and the upstream behind it can change without your code noticing.

For the business

What it does for the vendor strategy.

One URL, every vendor
No vendor lock-in
Point your OpenAI-compatible client at one address; add, swap or retire providers in the catalogue without touching application code.
Every vendor side by side
89% less
Lower cost per request
On the 150-prompt benchmark the router spent 89% less than sending every prompt to the reference model, and the judged quality went up, not down.
