Cheaper Inference

Router is an LLM gateway built to reduce inference costs by matching each request to the lowest-cost model that still meets performance needs. It provides one endpoint and one API key for accessing multiple closed and open-source AI models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok, Fireworks, and others, helping developers avoid wiring applications to providers one at a time. Requests go through Router first, where usage, model, provider, and cost can be tracked before eligible workloads are routed to a more efficient option when quality will not be affected. Router Strategies let developers define cost and performance priorities for different types of requests or use benchmarked defaults based on real production workloads. It responds to live latency, availability, failures, and rate limits, and eligible requests can be moved to another available model when a provider cannot serve them.

Experiential is an AI model gateway and inference platform for software developers and organizations building AI-enabled products or internal applications. It provides a unified API for routing requests to hosted model providers, customer-supplied provider accounts, and self-hosted or custom models, with OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic API access. Teams can manage API keys, budgets and usage limits, attribute costs to keys or agents, monitor requests, and configure provider routing and fallback behavior. The hosted service includes a free plan and paid monthly plans, while the open-source gateway can also be self-hosted. Enterprise plans add organization controls and data-residency options; paid plans also include model-optimization features, and enterprise customers can commission a model trained on their traffic. Developers can connect compatible applications and coding agents by changing their API endpoint and credentials.
