An optimization layer. One endpoint in. Every model, max uptime. We shop Fal, WaveSpeedAI, Atlas Cloud, Replicate, Novita, and more for the best price on every model, every request — and health-check every host continuously so your app fails over automatically and stays online. Your application VideoRouter Inference Optimization Layer Inside the layer: cost optimization ## Six ways we lower your spend. ### We negotiate lower prices We negotiate volume pricing directly with GPU-hosting providers, so you get rates much cheaper than going direct. ### We route to the cheapest host for that model The same open-weight model — Wan, HunyuanVideo, MiniMax H3 — is hosted by multiple providers at different prices. We route every generation to whichever host is cheapest and healthy right now. ### We track live prices, not stale ones Video/image hosts change per-generation and per-second rates constantly. We resync prices continuously across every provider, so you never overpay against a stale number. ### We batch non-urgent renders Latency-tolerant video and image jobs run through provider batch queues at a discount, and we pass those savings straight through to you. ### We serve open-source models ourselves For select open-weight checkpoints, we run the model ourselves — cutting out the reseller markup entirely. ### We charge less Just a flat 2% platform fee — vs. 5% on OpenRouter — on every render, every model. The full layer ## We hide the complexity. You just get results. Everything below runs automatically, on every request, under a single flat 2% fee. Price, latency, and quality for every provider — in one place, live — so you never have to guess who's cheapest or fastest for the model you want. ### Cost optimization Every render is priced against the cheapest host serving that model at your requested resolution and duration — automatically, not by hand. ### Spending control Set budgets and limits per key, project, or team, and get alerted before spend runs away — not after the invoice. ### Model routing One API for every video & image model — Fal, WaveSpeedAI, Atlas Cloud, Replicate, Novita, and closed hosts like Sora, Veo, and Kling. Swap models with a single string change. ### Retry / failover If a host degrades or rate-limits mid-render, we fail over transparently — your app never sees the outage. ### Price, latency & quality, in one place Every provider hosting a given model, side by side — live price, measured latency, and benchmark quality — so you can see who's actually cheapest and fastest, not guess. ### Performance optimization We track latency and throughput per host and route toward whoever is fastest for your render right now. Quickstart ## Already on the OpenAI SDK? Change one line. Point your base URL at VideoRouter and call any open-source or closed video/image model directly — same request format, one API key, a flat 2% fee. - OpenAI-compatible — no code rewrite - Works with any host's key, or bring your own - 2% fee on every request — vs. 5% on OpenRouter ``` python # pip install openai from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI( base_url="https://videorouter.sh/api/v1", api_key="llmr_sk_...", ) # Any video model, from any host, one API key video = client.videos.create( model="wan-2.2", prompt="A drone shot over a neon-lit city at night", seconds=5, ) print(video.id) # → routed to whichever host has Wan 2.2 cheapest right now ``` ## Plug in once. Let the layer do the rest. Create a developer account, grab an API key, and point your OpenAI SDK at us — every video & image host, price, latency, and failover, optimized automatically.
