Run and build with open AI models locally or in the cloud
Install once and pull open-weight models by name; Ollama handles weights, quantization and versioning for you.
A built-in server exposes a straightforward REST API, so scripts, editors and agents can talk to local models with minimal setup.
Route requests to hosted open models when your laptop cannot hold the checkpoint you need, with per-token pricing and concurrency tiers.
Access families such as Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma, Mistral and gpt-oss from a single interface.
One OpenAI-compatible gateway for adaptive LLM routing, guardrails, and spend control
Each prompt is graded and routed to the model that clears your quality bar, with configurable fallback chains that retry before a response starts.
Pay provider prices with $0 per-token added on pay-as-you-go and subscriptions, or bring your own provider keys and credits.
PII shielding, jailbreak and injection blocking, and per-call approval for tool and MCP actions run before you are billed.
Request logs, per-prompt receipts, routing and spend dashboards, and copy-as-cURL make every call auditable and attributable.
Provides access to a massive catalog of frontier models with flexible routing, but lacks OrcaRouter's dedicated enterprise governance.
