OrcaRouter
OrcaRouter is an OpenAI-compatible AI model router that sends each prompt to the right model across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, and 200+ frontier and open source models. It is built to preserve frontier answer quality while reducing AI inference spend by grading every prompt and routing hard reasoning to frontier models and routine work to lower-cost open-source models. The routing is quality-graded, never a blind, cheap-model swap, and each request shows the difficulty grade, selected model, provider, and cost so routes are visible, auditable, and reproducible. Developers can switch by changing the API base URL, while existing SDKs, model names, and streaming behavior continue to work as before. OrcaRouter supports automatic failover, so if a provider goes down mid-stream, traffic can switch transparently, and the application avoids user-facing errors. It also includes API key management with spend caps, model allowlists, rate limits, budget enforcement, and more.

OpenRouter
OpenRouter is a unified interface for LLMs. OpenRouter scouts for the lowest prices and best latencies/throughputs across dozens of providers, and lets you choose how to prioritize them. No need to change your code when switching between models or providers. You can even let users choose and pay for their own. Evals are flawed; instead, compare models by how often they're used for different purposes. Chat with multiple at once in the chatroom. Model usage can be paid by users, developers, or both, and may shift in availability. You can also fetch models, prices, and limits via API. OpenRouter routes requests to the best available providers for your model, given your preferences. By default, requests are load-balanced across the top providers to maximize uptime, but you can customize how this works using the provider object in the request body. Prioritize providers that have not seen significant outages in the last 10 seconds.
