Core Features

🔀

Unified Multi-Model API

One API endpoint to access 50+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and open-source providers. Switch without code changes.

Intelligent Policy Routing

Dynamic routing based on cost, latency, and quality. Support A/B testing, canary releases, and on-demand switching.

💾

Semantic Caching

Smart caching based on vector similarity. Similar requests return cached results, saving 30-60% cost.

🔄

Automatic Failover

Automatically switch to backup models on failure, ensuring 99.9% availability. Custom fallback chains supported.

💰

Budgets & Limits

Set budget caps by team, project, or user. Real-time cost monitoring with automatic alerts or throttling.

📊

Evals & A/B Testing

Built-in evaluation framework to compare model output quality. Traffic-based A/B testing support.

Code Example

router-example.ts
// SkyAIApp Router SDK - Unified API
import { SkyAI } from '@skyaiapp/sdk';

const client = new SkyAI({ apiKey: process.env.SKYAI_API_KEY });

// Single API for all models
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "auto",  // Let router decide based on policy
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Explain quantum computing" }],
  
  // Routing policy (optional)
  routing: {
    strategy: "cost-optimized",  // or "latency-optimized", "quality-first"
    fallback: ["gpt-5.5", "claude-sonnet-4.6", "gemini-3.1-pro"],
    maxCost: 0.05,  // Max cost per request in USD
    maxLatency: 3000,  // Max latency in ms
  },
  
  // Enable caching
  cache: {
    enabled: true,
    ttl: 3600,  // 1 hour
    similarityThreshold: 0.95,
  },
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
console.log(response.usage);  // Includes cost breakdown
console.log(response._routing);  // Which model was used and why

Use Cases

Cost Optimization

Automatically select the most cost-effective model based on task complexity. Simple tasks use cheaper models, complex ones use premium.

Example: A customer support system reduced monthly costs from $50,000 to $32,000, saving 36%.

High Availability

Configure multi-model fallback chains so no single model failure affects business. Achieve true 99.9% SLA.

Example: When OpenAI experiences latency, automatically switch to Anthropic with zero user impact.

Compliance & Data Residency

Auto-route to compliant endpoints based on user region. European user data stays in Europe.

Example: Financial client required data sovereignty, passed compliance audit after configuring regional routing.

Progressive Migration

Safely migrate from one model to another with traffic percentage control. Instant rollback supported.

Example: Route 10% traffic to new model for a week, then gradually scale to 100% after quality confirmation.

Start Using Model Router

Free tier is enough for testing and small-scale usage. Enterprise customers get dedicated support.
