AI API Gateway Unifies 18+ LLM Providers with Failover and Smart Pricing

A developer has created an AI API gateway that consolidates access to over 18 different LLM providers, including OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Qwen, under a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint. This gateway offers features such as automatic failover between providers when one becomes unavailable, intelligent request routing based on task complexity and time of day to optimize costs, and dynamic pricing that adjusts to upstream provider peak and off-peak rates. The system aims to eliminate vendor lock-in and ensure service continuity for users. AI

IMPACT Simplifies LLM integration and potentially reduces costs for developers by abstracting away provider-specific complexities and optimizing model selection.

    I Built a Multi-Provider AI API Gateway — One Key for 18 Models, Auto-Failover, Time-of-Day Pricing

    <p>If you've built anything on top of LLM APIs, you've probably hit the same wall I did: every provider wants its own account, its own top-up, its own API key. DeepSeek for coding, GLM for chat, Kimi for long context, Qwen for multilingual — suddenly your code is full of <code>if…
