Which LLM is the cheapest for our workload?

The best-for pages rank the live catalogue per task by the index that measures it, and the router picks the cheapest model that meets your quality rule for each request.

How much can we save on our LLM bill?

On the public benchmark the router saved 89% against sending everything to the reference model. Import last month's provider bill on the bill page and the estimate is computed on your own traffic before you change a line of code.

How often do model prices change?

The catalogue is refreshed from the vendors' price lists; each model page shows the date of its data.

One target among many

Mid-tier model is chosen per request, and the trace says why.

The figures above are this target's own record on this deployment: what it cost, how fast it answered, how often the people who used it said the answer was good. The router weighs that record against every other candidate for each request, so pinning it is a choice you make, not one you are stuck with.
