Introduction

v0.1.1

TokenRouter is an intelligent LLM routing service that optimizes costs by dynamically selecting the most appropriate AI model based on request characteristics.

What is TokenRouter?

TokenRouter acts as a smart proxy between your applications and major LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and Together.ai. Instead of manually choosing which model to use for each request, our intelligent routing system analyzes your prompts and automatically selects the optimal model based on:

  • Cost efficiency requirements
  • Response quality needs
  • Prompt complexity analysis
  • Model availability and performance
  • Your custom preferences and constraints

How It Works

1

Send Your Request

Make a standard API call to TokenRouter with your prompt, just like you would with OpenAI's API.

2

Intelligent Analysis

Our routing engine analyzes your prompt complexity, quality requirements, and cost preferences to determine the optimal model.

3

Automatic Routing

Your request is automatically routed to the best available model from OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, or Together.ai.

4

Get Your Response

Receive the AI response in the standard OpenAI format, with additional metadata about routing decisions and cost savings.
