AI Router product description

AI Router is a service for unified access to generative AI models from external providers without the need to deploy infrastructure. It allows you to work with available models through a single interface, centrally manage access keys and quotas, and receive combined reporting and analytics on their usage.

The Terms of Use for AI Router are determined by the document Terms of Use of Individual Services: AI Router and the SLA.

Use cases

  • connecting OpenAI, Anthropic, and other models using a single API key;
  • use a single code base for every OpenAI-compatible provider;
  • pay for models from a single balance instead of separate bills for each provider;
  • configuring budget limits;
  • monitor consumption via detailed, real-time analytics.

How it works

AI Router acts as a universal gateway between your application and external model providers. The service sends requests via an OpenAI-compatible API to connected models; for details, see the official OpenAI Developers documentation. You do not need to configure integrations with each provider separately — simply use the AI Router API key in your requests.
