Description
boldrouter is a comprehensive API gateway designed to unify access to major large language model (LLM) providers. It is compatible with OpenAI and allows users to send requests to a single endpoint using one API key. The platform supports automatic routing and failover, ensuring that requests are seamlessly directed to providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Mistral, Perplexity, Z.ai, MiniMax, NVIDIA, and Qwen. This integration simplifies the process of accessing various models by using catalog IDs or an auto-router ID, which selects the best model for each request.

One of the key differentiators of boldrouter is its opt-in prompt anonymization feature, which redacts personally identifiable information (PII) before any provider sees the request. This ensures privacy and security for users. Additionally, boldrouter supports document input, allowing users to attach files such as PDFs, Word documents, and Excel sheets, which are then extracted to text for processing.
The pricing model for boldrouter is pay-as-you-go, with no seats or minimums. Users purchase prepaid credits and are billed at each provider's list price, with a small fee applied when topping up credits. The platform also supports bring-your-own-key (BYOK), where the provider bills users directly for tokens, and boldrouter charges a thin platform fee.
boldrouter's routing and failover capabilities are robust, selecting providers based on price, latency, or uptime. In case of provider outages or errors, the platform automatically fails over to the next available route, ensuring high availability and reliability. The platform adds minimal latency, approximately 40 milliseconds at the median, and targets 99.9% routed uptime.
To get started with boldrouter, users need to create an account, generate an API key, and configure their OpenAI client's base URL to point to boldrouter. This setup allows users to target specific models or use the auto-router for automatic model selection, streamlining the integration process.
