One API. Every model. Zero lock‑in.
A production‑grade AI API with unified auth, streaming, retries, caching, and observability. Swap models without changing a line of application code.
Built for teams shipping AI in production.
AI API abstracts model providers behind a single, stable interface — with the reliability primitives you’d otherwise build yourself over six months.
- Chat, embeddings, tools, structured output, and vision in one SDK
- Automatic failover across providers when a model degrades
- Prompt caching and semantic cache built in
- OpenTelemetry traces exported to your observability stack
Everything you need to run AI API in production.
Model router
Fallbacks, load balancing, and per‑request model choice.
Rate limits
Per‑key, per‑team, and per‑endpoint — visible in real time.
Enterprise auth
SSO, SCIM, and IP allow‑listing on every account.
Full observability
Every prompt, response, and token accounted for.
Thoughtful features, not feature bloat.
SDKs everywhere
TypeScript, Python, Go, Ruby — with typed model IDs.
Streaming
SSE and WebSocket streaming with backpressure handled.
Scoped keys
Create keys with per‑endpoint, per‑model, per‑budget scopes.
Structured output
Zod / JSON‑Schema in, typed output out — reliably.
Prompt cache
Deterministic and semantic caching cuts spend up to 60%.
PII redaction
Optional pre‑send scrubber for sensitive fields.
