AI Gateway is a standalone routing layer for production LLM traffic. Send requests through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint to access 500+ models across providers, with built-in fallbacks, retries, load balancing, and usage tracking.

​
Quick Start

Complete the first request in a few minutes.
1

Create an account

Sign up, then open the workspace and select AI Gateway in the sidebar.

Connect a provider

Use Orq.ai Credits, or add a provider key under BYOK. To add a key, open BYOK, choose OpenAI, select Configure, and paste the key. See Providers overview.

Enable the model

Open the Models page (Model List in the AI Gateway sidebar), find openai/gpt-5.4, and toggle its Status to enable it. See Using the router.

Set up Orq.ai

Open Settings > Organization > API Keys, select Create API key, and copy the key.

Run a request

Set the key in your terminal and send a request to the Responses endpoint.
Self-hosted and on-premise deployments serve /v3/router under their own hostname. See Base URLs.

Inspect the request

Open Traces to review the response, latency, token usage, and cost.
