About

Cheaper Inference is an OpenAI-compatible API gateway that provides access to AI models from multiple providers through a single API key, without requiring users to change their request format. Developers can switch by replacing the provider base URL and API key while keeping the same model, messages, tools, streaming settings, and response handling. It supports text and image models, vision-capable chat requests, streaming, prompt caching, reasoning controls, and temporary image uploads for larger vision payloads. Models are selected per request, and the catalog can be filtered by type, vision, reasoning, streaming, or provider. Automatic retries handle network and provider failures, while eligible fallback routes can be tried before a request fails. Every request is visible in History, giving teams a record of request volume, token usage, and operational activity.

About

OrcaRouter is an OpenAI-compatible AI model router that sends each prompt to the right model across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, and 200+ frontier and open source models. It is built to preserve frontier answer quality while reducing AI inference spend by grading every prompt and routing hard reasoning to frontier models and routine work to lower-cost open source models. The routing is quality-graded, never a blind, cheap-model swap, and each request shows the difficulty grade, selected model, provider, and cost so routes are visible, auditable, and reproducible. Developers can switch by changing the API base URL, while existing SDKs, model names, and streaming behavior continue to work as before. OrcaRouter supports automatic failover, so if a provider goes down mid-stream, traffic can switch transparently, and the application avoids user-facing errors. It also includes API key management with spend caps, model allowlists, rate limits, budget enforcement, and more.
