Audience
AI developers and researchers looking to optimize workflows using multiple LLMs through intelligent routing and performance-aware model selection
About RouteLLM
Developed by LM-SYS, RouteLLM is an open-source toolkit that allows users to route tasks between different large language models to improve efficiency and manage resources. It supports strategy-based routing, helping developers balance speed, accuracy, and cost by selecting the best model for each input dynamically.

Router
Router is an LLM gateway built to reduce inference costs by matching each request to the lowest-cost model that still meets performance needs. It provides one endpoint and one API key for accessing multiple closed and open-source AI models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok, Fireworks, and others, helping developers avoid wiring applications to providers one at a time. Requests go through Router first, where usage, model, provider, and cost can be tracked before eligible workloads are routed to a more efficient option when quality will not be affected. Router Strategies let developers define cost and performance priorities for different types of requests or use benchmarked defaults based on real production workloads. It responds to live latency, availability, failures, and rate limits, and eligible requests can be moved to another available model when a provider cannot serve them.

discode.ai
discode is an AI chat platform built around one input field, 100+ AI models, and automatic model selection, so users choose the rhythm, not the algorithm. Instead of juggling multiple subscriptions, tabs, benchmarks, and provider limits, users ask a question and discode picks the right model for the job. Every request is analyzed by topic, complexity, and language, then routed to the best available model based on quality, speed, sustainability, and the user’s own settings. Light tasks can go to fast, resource-efficient models, while harder tasks can be sent to specialist or frontier models when needed. discode also explains which model was chosen and why, keeping routing transparent instead of turning it into a black box. Its Turntables let users weigh what matters most, such as smarter output, faster answers, or better eco impact, while Smart Prompting quietly optimizes prompts in the background for different model families and domains.

Kilo Gateway
Kilo Gateway is a universal AI inference gateway that routes LLM requests to any provider through one standardized endpoint, giving developers access to hundreds of hosted and open models without rewriting their applications for each provider. It provides unified access to models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral, and other providers, while also supporting bring-your-own-key configurations that let teams connect existing provider credentials through centralized infrastructure. The gateway is compatible with standard AI SDKs, making it possible to switch providers while keeping the same integration surface. Its infrastructure handles routing complexity and load balancing across direct providers and external gateways to improve availability and resilience. Auto Model can route each request to the best available model while keeping routing decisions, model behavior, and usage visible and controllable.

OpenRouter
OpenRouter is an AI model routing platform that gives developers access to hundreds of models through a single unified API. It connects users with models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, xAI, and many others. The platform supports text, image, video, and audio generation while allowing developers to use one API key and a consistent interface across providers. OpenRouter can route requests based on price, performance, and availability, with fallback options that help maintain service when a provider experiences downtime. It also offers configurable data policies so organizations can control which providers receive prompts and how requests are handled. Developers can purchase credits, choose from more than 500 active models across over 80 providers, and integrate OpenRouter using an OpenAI-compatible API.
