FAQ

Is UberLLM a drop-in OpenRouter alternative?

Yes. UberLLM exposes one OpenAI-compatible base URL, so switching from OpenRouter (or OpenAI) means changing only the base_url and api_key — your existing SDK code stays the same. Anthropic SDKs work via /v1/messages.

How is UberLLM different from OpenRouter?

Both are unified gateways over many providers. UberLLM routes to the cheapest provider that is actually healthy (deprioritizing recent outages), publishes a live market with real per-model prices and discounts, adds an open seller marketplace, and gives new accounts free starter credits. There is no inference markup on either — you pay provider pricing.

Does UberLLM support the same models?

UberLLM lists 380+ models — GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, GLM, Qwen, Llama, Mistral, Kimi and more — with one key across all of them.

How do I migrate from OpenRouter to UberLLM?

Set base_url to https://api.uberllm.dev/v1 and use your UberLLM key. Model ids follow the familiar provider/model form. That is the whole migration.
