Model APIs and gateways · by PixelGrid
LLMTest
An OpenAI-compatible LLM proxy that routes your calls to 340+ models and adds per-feature cost tracking, automatic fallback to another model on errors or invalid JSON, model benchmarks with an AI judge, and optional weekly prompt and model optimization, plus an MCP server for your IDE.
A provider outage or a reply that is not valid JSON no longer breaks your feature, because the proxy retries on another model inside the same request, and you see what each AI feature costs.
