Strong technology platform +1

Drop-in OpenAI SDK compatibility requiring only a base URL switch and an API key update
Zero token markup on all tiers, billing directly at provider list rates with support for Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)
Sub-millisecond prompt grading with adaptive routing across leading models from OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and DeepSeek
Sub-50ms automated fallback mechanism that transparently absorbs provider timeouts and rate-limit errors

Certain specialized reasoning models enforce strict parameter rules where common settings like temperature are automatically stripped or fixed
Standard cloud gateway requires a constant internet connection to the service endpoints, with fully isolated offline deployments limited to local or bespoke enterprise tiers
Custom routing rules require teams to learn and maintain YAML and CEL expression syntax
