About OpenRouter

OpenRouter is a unified interface for large language models that aggregates models from multiple providers into a single access point. It serves developers and product teams who want to compare models and prices for their prompts without juggling several subscriptions, while maintaining OpenAI SDK compatibility and higher uptime through provider failover.

Key Features

Developers and product teams reason about model choice in the context of cost and performance before wiring prompts into their apps:

Unified multi-provider access

Centralizes access to models from multiple providers in one interface, enabling discovery by price and capability.

OpenAI SDK compatibility

Maintains an OpenAI-compatible API surface so existing code can switch providers without changes.

Uptime-aware routing / failover

Automatically reroutes requests to alternative providers during outages to improve availability.

Credit-based usage (no subscription)

Pay per prompt with credits instead of committing to a monthly plan.
