Auriko

Freemium

Cache-aware LLM router and inference platform with one API across major providers and zero provider price markup.

Unified API: One OpenAI-compatible endpoint fronts OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Fireworks, Together, DeepSeek, Moonshot and more.
Cache-Aware Routing: Routes each request using cost estimates that account for each provider's cache hit behavior and workload patterns.
Multiple Focus Modes: Optimize routing for cost, time-to-first-token, throughput or balanced modes, with optional custom weights.
Deterministic Routing (Pro): Always picks the highest-scoring eligible route so production behavior is reproducible.
Bring Your Own Key: BYOK support lets teams keep existing provider contracts and quotas while still benefiting from the router.
Fallback & Load Balancing: Automatic fallback and load-balanced routing keep apps up when a single provider degrades.

Production LLM Cost Reduction: Engineering teams cut inference bills by routing chat and RAG traffic to the cheapest cache-friendly provider.
Reliability Fallback: Ops teams shield user-facing agents from provider outages via automatic fallback routes.
Latency-Sensitive Apps: Real-time products optimize for time-to-first-token when the user is watching a stream.
BYOK Enterprise Deployments: Enterprises route through Auriko while keeping token spend on their own provider contracts.
Multi-Model A/B Testing: Product teams experiment with different backend models without rewriting client code.
