How it works

One gateway. Many suppliers Your pick

Kumo is a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint in front of models from many suppliers. The same model costs a different amount at different suppliers; you see each one’s price and pick the one that fits your task and your budget. One key, one balance

How the service works

What happens on every call

01

You call one endpoint

Point your existing OpenAI SDK at api.kumorouter.com/v1 and send the request you already wrote. No new client, no per-model SDK

02

You pick the supplier and the price

The catalog lists every supplier of a model and what each charges per million tokens. Faster, cheaper or with a bigger context window — the choice is yours, and the price is shown before you spend

03

You get the supplier’s answer, verbatim

The response comes back exactly as the supplier returned it — unchanged. It names the model that served it

04

It all bills from one balance

Tokens and spend across every supplier stream into one console. A cap per key, one top-up — and no five vendor invoices to reconcile

Drop-in compatible

One line in. First call out

A real, playable terminal — type a command or click a step. The whole migration, the call, and the answer

Security

Read about security before your first call

Kumo is a routing-and-billing layer: your request goes on to the supplier you picked. So do not send sensitive data through Kumo — personal data, secrets, payment details. How we handle what passes through the gateway is described on the security page

No. Kumo speaks the OpenAI API for the connected text endpoints. Point your existing SDK’s base URL at https://api.kumorouter.com/v1, swap in your Kumo key, and keep the rest of your chat/completions-style code
