We continuously select the best combination of price, quality, availability and response time. Our defaults work out of the box.
ChatGPT performance with up to 50% lower costs and up to 70% faster response times
One API. Multiple AI models. Every request is automatically routed to the model that delivers the best balance of quality, cost and speed.

INTELLIGENT MODEL ROUTING
Not every request needs a premium model.
A lightweight model is more than enough for a simple “Hello” — and responds much faster. Elmstec evaluates every request in milliseconds, determines its complexity and routes it to the most suitable AI model.
Complex tasks still receive the power of a premium model. Simple requests are handled faster and at a lower cost. This reduces spending while suitable requests can move from seconds to milliseconds.
