One API. 370+ models. Built for builders.
ModelGates is the unified interface for LLMs. We exist so developers stop juggling five SDKs, three billing accounts, and one model availability scoreboard.
Every developer team using AI today hits the same problem: providers ship new models monthly, prices change quarterly, billing is per-account, and the SDK you wrote against three months ago is already two versions behind. You shouldn't have to choose your stack based on which provider has the prettiest dashboard.
ModelGates is a thin layer that sits between you and every major AI provider. We aggregate model availability, negotiate volume pricing, run a high-throughput gateway with strict billing correctness, and pass the savings to you. You write against the OpenAI SDK, point it at our base URL, and switch models with a single string change.
Three principles, no surprises
Unified, not abstracted
OpenAI-SDK compatible. No proprietary clients, no lock-in. Swap us in or out by changing a baseURL.
Lower price, fair terms
We sell tokens 10–15% below market by negotiating volume rates with providers and running lean. No subscription, no minimums.
Operationally serious
200 RPS sustained, atomic billing in microdollars, sub-second auth. Built for production loads from day one.
What runs ModelGates
We're built on the OpenRouter standard for model addressing and pricing transparency. Our hot path is Next.js + Node clusters behind Nginx, with Redis for atomic balance accounting and MariaDB as the ledger of record. Every request is billed in integer microdollars, persisted within seconds, and reconciled against Stripe every five minutes.
We're a small, distributed team. If something breaks, you'll hear back from a human within hours — usually faster.
