Auriko

What is Auriko?

Auriko is an AI infrastructure platform that acts as a trading-desk-style control plane for LLM inference, connecting developers to models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, MiniMax, and dozens of other providers through a single OpenAI-compatible API. Rather than juggling separate SDKs and pricing structures for each provider, teams route every request through Auriko, which continuously models provider pricing, latency, prompt-caching behavior, and uptime to send each call to the most cost-effective and reliable endpoint available. The platform charges zero markup on provider pricing and layers on routing strategies, automatic failover, key orchestration, and budget controls so production AI workloads stay fast, cheap, and resilient.

Key Features

• Unified Model Gateway

  One OpenAI-compatible endpoint gives access to 200+ models across major providers, letting teams swap models without rewriting integration code.

• Cost-Arbitrage Routing

  A quantitative engine models each provider's live pricing and cache mechanics to route every request to the lowest-cost option in real time.

• Custom Routing Strategies

  Built-in or user-defined strategies optimize for cost, latency, throughput, or custom constraints like data-residency and structured-output support.

• Automatic Failover

  Redundant provider paths and health signals keep requests flowing even when a specific model or provider experiences downtime.

• Key Orchestration (BYOK)

  Teams can bring their own provider API keys, use Auriko-managed keys, or blend both to maximize rate-limit utilization.

• Budget Controls & Observability

  Workspace- and key-level spending limits, alerts, and dashboards give finance and engineering teams visibility into inference spend.

Use Cases

• AI Product Development : Startups building LLM-powered apps can test and switch models rapidly without managing multiple provider integrations.
• Inference Cost Optimization : Companies with high-volume LLM usage cut spend by letting Auriko route calls to the cheapest qualifying provider automatically.
• Production Reliability Engineering : Teams needing uptime guarantees rely on automatic failover and capacity intelligence to avoid single-provider outages.
• Agent Framework Integration : Developers using LangChain, CrewAI, Claude Agent SDK, or similar frameworks plug in Auriko as their model backend with minimal setup.
• Enterprise FinOps for AI : Organizations track and control AI spend across departments using budget alerts, invoicing, and SSO-secured team access.
