Why this would be needed

Start inside the user's day · Public facts + workflow reasoning · 2026-09-01

Use case

Development teams need to test and route hundreds of AI models with one API while ensuring verifiable privacy.

Currently teams may call model APIs directly or use aggregators like OpenRouter, but privacy and cost control are insufficient.

Directly calling multiple model APIs requires rewriting apps, and it's hard to compare price, speed, privacy, and reliability; privacy protection lacks verifiability.
