Requests are scored on cost, latency and measured quality, then routed to whichever provider wins that task. When one degrades, traffic moves mid-flight and your callers never notice.
The routing console — running in your own infrastructure

Per-task scoring across eleven providers, with any model pinnable by hand. The scoring set is yours and lives in your repository.
Semantic cache with a similarity threshold you set per route. On support workloads this alone removes a third of spend.
Schema validation, bounded retries and a confidence floor before anything is returned to a caller.
Input, resolved model, tokens, latency, cost and cache status logged on every single call. Exportable.
We are the right answer for one of these columns. If your situation fits another, we would rather you know now.
| APIPIE Labs | Direct to one provider | Build your own gateway | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to first call | Minutes | Minutes | Two to six weeks |
| Swap provider | A config value | A rewrite | You maintain it |
| Failover | Built in, mid-flight | None | Yours to build and test |
| Cost attribution | Per-tag rollup | One invoice, no breakdown | Yours to build |
| Where it runs | Your cloud or ours | Their cloud | Yours |
| Best when | You run more than one model in production | You are certain you never will | Routing is your core IP |
Point a copy of production traffic at the gateway for a fortnight. You get the routing report either way, and nothing changes for your users.
