Description

OpenRouter serves as a central hub for accessing a wide array of Large Language Models (LLMs) through a single, standardized API. It simplifies the process for developers and organizations looking to integrate various AI models into their applications without managing multiple provider relationships. The platform emphasizes high availability by automatically rerouting requests during provider outages and aims to optimize costs and performance, adding minimal latency to inference requests.

With features like compatibility with the OpenAI SDK out of the box and custom data policies, OpenRouter facilitates seamless integration and ensures data governance. Users can manage their usage through a credit-based system, allowing access to diverse models from providers like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic via one interface and API key.
