Description

FastRouter is a unified AI gateway and control plane for developers and enterprise teams building with LLMs. It routes every request to the right model across 200+ LLMs through one OpenAI-compatible API, optimizing for cost, latency, quality, and reliability. With intelligent routing, failover, observability, and governance, teams can scale AI apps without vendor lock-in or code changes.

Could you build this?

Partial Basic proxy routing and fallback across LLM provider APIs is straightforward, but dynamic quality/cost/latency-optimized routing with low millisecond overhead and enterprise-grade SLA requires specialized high-performance proxy infrastructure.

What it would actually take: Building an enterprise LLM gateway requires a high-throughput proxy layer (e.g., written in Rust or Go using Envoy or Pingora), distributed caching, and real-time streaming parser. The hard part is building the dynamic routing engine that classifies incoming prompts for complexity and routes them with sub-millisecond overhead while continuously benchmarking 200+ models. You need systems engineering expertise, distributed observability tooling, and low-latency networking architecture.
