One OpenAI-compatible endpoint for OpenAI, Claude and Gemini models
Send requests in the familiar chat-completions format to a single base URL, so existing OpenAI SDKs and wrappers work with minimal edits.
Reach OpenAI, Claude and Gemini models from the same credentials instead of juggling three separate accounts and billing setups.
Swapping providers usually means changing a base URL and a model name rather than rewriting application code.
Choose the model that best fits a task's price and quality needs, helping keep inference spend under control.
One open-source AI gateway for 100+ LLM providers
Call 100+ providers and 1,800+ models using one request format, so you can swap models without changing application code.
Issue scoped keys per team, project or app, set monthly spend caps and see exactly who is driving usage and cost.
Distribute traffic across deployments, retry on failure and automatically fall back to another model or provider when one goes down.
Dashboards for request volume, tokens and cost per model, with support for logging and analytics integrations.
