  1. One API and one bill for hundreds of language models, with automatic failover between providers.

    Also: API, Cost Optimization, Developers, LLM Gateway

  2. ngrok

    A hosted LLM gateway from ngrok: one base URL and one key for public providers, your own keys and self-hosted models, with failover, scoped access and cost analytics.

    Also: API, Cost Optimization, Developers, LLM Gateway

  3. An open-source proxy that sits between your coding agent and the model, compressing tool schemas, file reads and stale history to cut token bills.

    Also: Coding Agent, Cost Optimization, Developers, LLM Gateway

  4. Privacy-first AI gateway putting 600+ models from 90+ providers behind one OpenAI-compatible API, with no prompt or output logging.

    Also: API, Developers, LLM Gateway

  5. A memory layer for AI agents — remember user preferences and past interactions without stuffing the context window.

    Also: API, Cost Optimization, Developers

  6. A coding agent tuned for latency: routes easy work to fast models, pulls only the code it needs, and fans out tool calls in parallel.

    Also: Coding Agent, Cost Optimization, Developers

  7. Bruin Data Limited

    Run Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode in the cloud from a single HTTP call — no SDK, no daemon, no infrastructure on your side.

    Also: API, Coding Agent, Developers

  8. JetBrains s.r.o.

    JetBrains' agent platform: run Claude Agent, Codex, Junie or Copilot in the cloud, then review every diff inside your IDE.

    Also: Coding Agent, Cost Optimization

  9. Free, open-source local MCP gateway: register each server once, share it with every AI client, and cut tool-definition tokens by up to 91%.

    Also: Cost Optimization, Developers

  10. Google

    Google's browser workbench for prototyping with Gemini models, then shipping the same prompt as production API code.

    Also: API, Developers

  11. You.com sells web search, content extraction, answer and research APIs for AI agents; its consumer chat closed to new users in 2026.

    Also: API, Developers

  12. Stenography explains code and APIs with AI.

    Also: API, Developers

  13. Lenz IO

    Audit-grade fact-checking API for AI products — eight models across five stages, adversarial debate, and a full citation trail behind every verdict.

    Also: API, Developers

  14. MeetStream AI

    One API for meeting bots across Zoom, Google Meet, Teams and Webex — join, record, stream and speak in real time, billed at $0.35 an hour.

    Also: API, Developers

  15. Inference, fine-tuning, and GPU clusters for open models — the full stack for teams building on open weights.

    Also: API, Developers

  16. Run thousands of open models with one API call, and deploy your own without touching Kubernetes.

    Also: API, Developers

  17. Inference on custom LPU hardware, built for latency — open models served at speeds general-purpose GPUs struggle to match.

    Also: API, Developers

  18. Integration layer for AI agents: managed OAuth, 10,000+ prebuilt tools across 3,000+ APIs, an MCP server and an API proxy. Owned by Workday.
