An OpenAI-compatible AI gateway that provides adaptive LLM routing, load balancing, guardrails, agent firewall, observability, and governance across 200+ models
OrcaRouter is a production-grade AI gateway that sits between your application and 200+ language models, intelligently routing each request to the optimal model based on quality, cost, and latency requirements.
Adaptive Routing - Grades every prompt in under 1ms using contextual embeddings with online learning from live traffic, achieving 75.5% accuracy on the RouterArena leaderboard. Routes hard reasoning to frontier models (GPT-5, Claude Opus) and routine work to open-source alternatives.
Zero Token Markup - Pay each provider's published rate directly; OrcaRouter adds $0 per token and monetizes only through optional Team/Enterprise features.
Automatic Failover - When a provider rate-limits or returns 5xx errors, retries against healthy fallback capacity across 200+ models before the response starts streaming.
Guardrails & Agent Firewall - PII Shield and content policies enforced inline before billing. Tool and MCP calls graded ALLOW/REVIEW/BLOCK before execution with anomaly detection against learned baselines.
Full Observability - Per-request logs with grade, model, latency, cost, and cached tokens. Glass-box receipts show exact provider pricing. Insights dashboard for routing, latency, spend, and model quality.
Governance & Compliance - 32 framework packs (GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001) with exportable evidence. Budgets, roles, RBAC, and audit trails.
Developer Experience - Drop-in OpenAI-compatible endpoint (api.orcarouter.ai/v1). Keep existing SDK code. Routing DSL (YAML + CEL) for custom rules. Prompt versioning with instant rollback. BYOK support for using your own provider keys.
