Route LLM requests through a BYOK gateway designed to reduce waste in eligible routing cases. One API path. Founder onboarding. No provider lock-in.
import openai # Drop-in replacement - just change base_url client = openai.OpenAI( api_key="your_gateway_key", base_url="https://api.costimplodeai.com/v1" ) # Same code, eligible lower-cost routing path response = client.chat.completions.create( model="auto", # gateway picks cheapest capable model messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}] ) # x-ci-routed-model, x-ci-savings-pct in response headers
CostImplodeAI is a BYOK AI gateway that lets developers route requests across provider paths while keeping their own provider accounts, billing, and keys under their control. It is an infrastructure layer, not a model provider.
CostImplode sits between your app and your providers. You keep the keys, the provider billing, and the model choice. We focus on routing, visibility, and founder setup.
Add your AIMLAPI key and your Native1API route when it opens. No credits are held by CostImplode.
Use api.costimplodeai.com with your existing OpenAI-compatible code.
Requests can follow a lower-cost eligible path or use the exact model you choose. Founder setup keeps this explicit.
Review routed model, baseline comparison, and cost movement in one place so nothing is hidden.
Your provider billing stays between you and the provider. CostImplode is not a credit reseller.
Native1API is marked as coming soon on the site while you finish it separately.
Your app talks to CostImplode once. The gateway handles the provider-side routing path.
If you want white-glove help, the founder setup tier is the high-touch option.
import OpenAI from "openai" # keep your app side simple const client = new OpenAI({ apiKey: "your_costimplode_gateway_key", baseURL: "https://api.costimplodeai.com/v1" }) const result = await client.chat.completions.create({ model: "auto", messages: [{ role: "user", content: prompt }] })
The core job is simple: help you route intelligently without turning your gateway into a black box.
Use the gateway for eligible lower-cost routing cases, or force a specific model when you already know the answer.
Review baseline pricing against the routed path so you can see where savings appear and where they do not.
Your keys stay yours. Your provider billing stays yours. The gateway does not take custody of inference credits.
The stack is designed for fast global access and simple deployment boundaries instead of local patchwork.
The presale tiers are built around onboarding, validation, and getting your first production path locked in.
Keep existing SDKs and clients. The goal is lower friction, not a rewrite every time you change providers.
This page avoids inflated promises. The model path depends on task type, provider availability, and the exact output quality you need.
A document summarization workload moved from a higher-cost default path to a lower-cost eligible route. Same API shape on the app side. Lower operating cost on the provider side.
The public launch path is presale first. Choose a BYOK tier or a founder setup tier, then keep the stack moving while the wider rollout is finalized.
If you are not ready to buy yet, join the founder list and get the presale updates, launch notes, and support contact path.
The list is for presale updates and launch contact, not generic spam. It gives you a path to raise your hand without losing your place.
The chatbot is a multi-bot front door. Each agent handles a different job so buyers can reach the right path faster.
Welcome and routing. Aria is the first contact bot and helps direct visitors to the right next step.
Onboarding. Nova helps with the first setup path and the first working integration.
Technical help. Kai handles API errors, integration questions, and routing issues.
Support. Maya handles support, account questions, and buyer follow-up paths.
Sales. Sage covers presales, founder tiers, and the high-touch setup path.
Escalation. Rex is the priority review path when a request needs extra attention.
Primary provider signup and model access path.
Coming soon. The site references it as the second provider path without pretending it is already live.
Open the app surface and keep testing the gateway path separately from the sales page.
Keep the public page focused on presales while the rest of the stack is still being verified.
