About ROUTOR
ROUTOR provides a single API endpoint that automatically routes requests to the most suitable large language model from a pool of over 60 models across 10 providers. The system analyzes each prompt to determine its complexity and intent, then selects the best-value capable model for the task. It can route by auto-detection, capability tier, or direct model selection while maintaining consistent billing and logging. Routor also handles automatic fallbacks when a provider fails or is slow, ensuring continuous service without added latency. Integration requires only changing the base URL and API key in existing OpenAI or Anthropic clients, requiring no new SDKs. The service offers a free $5 credit on signup without requiring a payment card. Routing decisions typically complete in under 10 milliseconds, and the system claims to deliver over 60% savings compared to using premium models for all requests.
