Overview
RouterPlus is a marketplace for AI inference. We find the right AI model for a team's product, then get it served at the team's scale, at the best price.
Most teams that run AI in production pay for a top model on every task, when a cheaper model can do most of the work. The same model can also cost twice as much depending on which provider runs it, and many providers fail at peak traffic.
RouterPlus tests models on a team's own traffic and recommends one. Providers then compete for the workload. We check that the chosen provider can hold the team's real peak, and we keep a second provider ready as a backup. Teams call the model through one API.
Our largest customer runs 3 million agent conversations a day on RouterPlus.
