Gate officially launches GateRouter: Unified API connects to mainstream AI models in 30 seconds, reducing inference costs by 80% Gate Gate announced the official launch of the AI model routing platform GateRouter. This platform provides developers with a unified entrance for calling large models, allowing users to access multiple mainstream AI models with just one API. The system intelligently matches the most suitable model to complete tasks, significantly reducing costs while ensuring effectiveness. 30 second fast access, one API calls all models The design goal of GateRouter is to make it easier for AI models to call. The platform adopts a compatible approach, which only requires one command to quickly connect or replace the original model in 30 seconds. The platform also provides a developer console for managing API keys, viewing call logs and usage statistics, and has a built-in Playground for easy online comparison of the effectiveness and call costs of different models. GateRouter has been integrated into over 25 mainstream models, covering manufacturers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Qwen, Moonshot, etc. Developers do not need to apply for multiple API keys separately to call it uniformly. In terms of security, GateRouter does not store user conversation content by default, and all data transmission is encrypted through HTTPS. It also provides optional logging functionality, making it convenient for developers to debug and optimize while ensuring privacy and security. Intelligent routing: automatically selecting the most suitable model As the number of AI models continues to increase, developers often need to choose between different models. The core function of GateRouter is Smart Routing, where the system automatically matches the most suitable model based on task complexity. For example, simple requests use models with lower costs, while complex tasks call models with stronger performance. In the current market, the price range from GPT-5.4 Pro (approximately $180/M output) to GPT-5 Nano (approximately $0.40/M output) can reach about 450 times. Official data shows that in actual use, the cost of a simple task under the same API call is about 0.0003 US dollars, and the cost of a complex task is about 0.06 US dollars, with a cost difference of about 200 times. By using an intelligent routing automatic matching model, the platform can reduce AI inference costs by an average of over 80% compared to using all flagship models. Targeting AI Agents and AI Application Developers GateRouter is mainly aimed at AI agents and AI application developers, covering multiple types of technology and enterprise users: AI Agents and Agent Developers: Whether it is Agent self calling or developer manual integration, multi model routing and cost optimization can be achieved through a unified API. Institutional and enterprise users: Suitable for teams that require large-scale API calls, such as quantitative institutions, trading platforms, and AI product teams, it can support exclusive rates, compliance audits, and stablecoin settlements. Web3 Builder: Designed for developers building on chain automation or decentralized applications, it provides API calling capabilities that do not require credit cards and support native stablecoin payments. Pay as you go and multi payment to lower the development threshold GateRouter related services are currently available to developers for a limited time and for free. In the future, the platform will adopt a pay as you go model to help developers further optimize their cost structure when using it on a large scale. In terms of payment methods, GateRouter supports a more flexible and diverse payment system. At present, the platform supports Gate Pay USDT balance deduction, and users do not need to store additional value or bind credit cards to complete the payment. In the future, we will gradually support multiple payment methods such as fiat currency, credit card, and cryptocurrency that comply with the x402 agreement, enabling AI agents to automatically complete model calls and payment processes without human intervention. As an important component of the Gate for AI system, GateRouter further improves Gate's infrastructure layout for AI agents and developers. By unifying the model invocation interface and intelligent routing capability, the platform reduces the threshold of AI application development and improves the efficiency of AI Agent model invocation in transaction and automation scenarios. In the future, Gate will continue to expand its model ecosystem and developer tool capabilities, promoting the deep integration of AI agents and digital asset infrastructure.
