LLM Router: 4 routing strategies
One endpoint, multiple providers. Route to the best LLM for every task — automatically.
Auto
AI classifies your prompt and picks the optimal model by cost, speed, and complexity.
Direct
Choose the exact model yourself. Full control over which provider handles your request.
Tag Routes
Map tags like fast, smart, creative to pre-configured models.
Failover Chain
Chain multiple models with automatic failover. If the primary is unavailable, the next in line takes over.
OpenAI-compatible. Zero learning curve.
