What Requesty is
Requesty is an AI gateway and LLM router for 600+ models, with one OpenAI-compatible key, routing policies, failover and spend controls. You can use its key or bring your own provider keys.
How you pay
Free plan on free models; pay as you go adds 5% to model costs (their example: a $10 per 1M token model costs $10.50), charged as a service fee when you top up credits. Enterprise is custom.
What UberLLM is
A marketplace for unused AI compute. Each request goes to the cheapest healthy seller for that model, behind one OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible key.
How you pay
Pay per use at the price shown for each model, with nothing added per request. A 5% fee applies only when you add credit. A generation that fails costs nothing.

client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.uberllm.dev/v1", # the only line that changes
api_key="ull_your_key_here",
)
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],

# the same key makes images (and video, music, speech)
img = client.images.generate(
model="venice/nano-banana-pro",
prompt="a red apple on a white table",
