Yir is an API router for AI image and video generation. One API key and one parameter set cover GPT Image, Nano Banana, Seedream, FLUX, Seedance, Veo, Kling, Wan and more, each available from several providers. Every job goes to the cheapest provider that delivers the same spec and fails over automatically when one breaks. Every result is checked against its C2PA signature, so an upscaled "4K" image never passes as original. You pay the provider's public price, with no markup.

Could you build this?

Partial A unified API proxy with routing, failover, and a pricing table can be vibe-coded, but real price comparison requires live provider relationships, reliable multi-provider integrations, and operational scale.

What it would actually take: The core is an HTTP gateway that normalizes parameters across image and video model providers, keeps a live price and latency table, and retries failed jobs on alternate providers. The difficult parts are maintaining accurate, real-time pricing and spec parity across many APIs that change often, plus holding up under production load with queues and billing. That requires provider agreements or volume deals, distributed infrastructure, and ongoing integration maintenance.
