About OrcaRouter

What is OrcaRouter?

OrcaRouter is an OpenAI-compatible AI gateway built for production AI applications. It grades every prompt and routes it to the best-fit model automatically — delivering frontier-quality AI at up to 40% lower cost, with zero token markup.

Key Features

Adaptive Routing: Automatically routes each request to the optimal model based on real-time performance, cost, and task complexity. Load Balancing: Distributes traffic across multiple providers to maximize uptime and reliability. Zero Token Markup: You pay only the provider's rate — no hidden fees or surcharges. Real-time Observability: Full request/response logs, usage metrics, and cost tracking for every call. Governance & Compliance: Audit-ready for SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

AI Security — Zero Trust Agent Gateway

OrcaRouter includes a built-in zero-trust security layer designed specifically for AI agents — no code changes required.

Guardrails: Screen every input and output for prompt injection, PII leakage, and credential exposure — enforced at the gateway, independent of the model. Agent Firewall: Default-deny policy on all tool calls and outbound network destinations. Explicit allow-lists prevent SSRF attacks and data exfiltration. Scope & Key Binding: Attach guardrail and firewall policies to specific API keys. Every call made with that key is automatically protected. Full Audit Trail: Every decision — allow or block — is logged for compliance review.

Use Cases

Multi-model Integration: Access GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, and 200+ models through one endpoint without changing your existing SDK. Cost Optimization: Automatically route simple tasks to cheaper models and complex ones to frontier models. Agent Security: Protect autonomous AI agents from prompt injection, jailbreaks, and unintended tool misuse. Rapid Deployment: Go live in 60 seconds — just swap your base_url to https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1.
