OpenRouter

OpenRouter solves the multi-provider problem by offering a unified API that routes to any major language model. Instead of integrating with each provider separately, integrate once and access everything.

Key Features:

• Universal API - OpenAI-compatible interface for all models
• 100+ Models - Access OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, and more
• Automatic Fallbacks - Route to alternatives when primary models are down
• Usage Analytics - Track costs and usage across all providers

Why developers use OpenRouter:

• Simplified Integration - One SDK, one API key, all models
• Cost Optimization - Compare pricing and choose the best value
• Model Experimentation - Try new models without new integrations
• Reliability - Automatic failover between providers

Practical benefits:

• A/B Testing - Compare model performance on your specific use case
• Graceful Degradation - Never go down because one provider has issues
• Budget Management - Set limits and monitor spending in one place
• Access Control - Manage which models your team can use

OpenRouter is particularly valuable for teams that want flexibility without complexity. Instead of betting on a single provider or maintaining multiple integrations, you get optionality with minimal overhead. The routing intelligence handles provider-specific quirks automatically.
