OrcaRouter

OrcaRouter is an AI API gateway and multi-model LLM router that dynamically sends each user prompt to the most cost-effective and suitable model, drawing from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and more than 200 other models. Instead of paying premium prices for every single request, your traffic is matched to the model that can actually handle it.

Every incoming prompt is instantly graded for difficulty. Complex reasoning tasks are directed to frontier models, while routine requests are routed to cheaper, open-source alternatives. This intelligent balancing allows developers to slash their AI spending by approximately 40% while preserving high-quality results.

Integration is painless thanks to an OpenAI-compatible API: swapping in OrcaRouter requires changing just a single line of code to replace the base URL and API key. There is no need to rework your existing stack or learn a new SDK, so you can start saving almost immediately.

OrcaRouter also delivers transparent 'glass-box' routing by logging the difficulty grade, model selection, and provider for each request. With zero token markup, the original provider costs are passed directly to you, so you always know exactly what you are paying for.
