How Inferoute works
Inferoute sits between your application and every LLM provider. You send a standard request to the Inferoute API, and it handles provider selection, authentication, retries, and fallback — transparently returning the model’s response as if you called the provider directly.1

Send your first request
Use the Inferoute base URL (
https://api.inferoute.ai/v1) with any OpenAI-compatible SDK or HTTP client.4
Monitor usage
Track token consumption, costs, and request routing in the Inferoute dashboard.
Key features
Intelligent Routing
Automatically select the fastest, cheapest, or most available provider for each request.
Automatic Fallback
If one provider goes down or rate-limits you, Inferoute retries with a backup automatically.
Cost Optimization
Route to lower-cost models or providers without changing your application code.
Usage Controls
Set per-key token budgets and rate limits to prevent runaway costs.
