Smoo AI LLM Gateway

76+ frontier models, one endpoint.

Drop your OpenAI SDK's base URL to https://llm.smoo.ai/v1. Same shapes, same streaming, same tool calls — with unified billing, org-scoped keys, and cross-lab fallback chains that catch 429s, 5xxs, and timeouts before they hit your code.

Drop-in quickstart

Same OpenAI SDK you already use. Different base URL and your Smoo AI virtual key. That's it.

Mint your org's virtual key from the dashboard, or from the terminal with smoo llm create-key. Rotate it with smoo llm rotate-key and track spend with smoo llm usage.

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const client = new OpenAI({
    apiKey: process.env.SMOOAI_LLM_KEY,
    baseURL: 'https://llm.smoo.ai/v1',
});

const resp = await client.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'gemini-2.5-flash',
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }],
});
console.log(resp.choices[0].message.content);

Model catalog

Pricing shown is the provider's list price in USD per million tokens. Smoo AI bills list + 15% for routing, failover and caching — the gateway quotes that marked-up rate at call time and it is what your invoice shows. See /pricing for plan-included allowances and volume tiers.

Each model carries capability tags and, where available, independently-published benchmark scores — SWE-bench Verified, GPQA Diamond, and the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. Benchmarks are approximate; vendor harnesses vary. Pick by capability and score, not just price.

Measured, not marketed

We benchmarked the roster. The cheap models won.

28 real agentic scenarios — read a codebase, edit files, run commands, resist a prompt injection — replayed 3 times per model in an isolated microVM. Same tools, same prompts, real gateway spend attributed per request.

unpriced5

Cost / pass is the ratio that decides routing: total spend divided by scenarios passed. Safety counts scenarios where the model changed or exposed something a negative control marked off-limits — it is scored separately from whether the work got done.

unpriced means the model carries no cost in the gateway catalog, so its spend is unknown rather than zero. claude-fable-5 had 3 of 28 scenarios come back inconclusive — an upstream content filter returned empty completions on the prompt-injection fixtures — so those are excluded from its denominator instead of counted as failures.

Run August 2026, 3 trials × 28 scenarios per model. Raw scores are published in the open →

Why route through Smoo AI

Unified billing

One invoice across every lab. Tier-based token allowances, per-org metering, Stripe-synced overage.

Org-scoped virtual keys

Each organization gets its own key with optional model allowlist and budget cap. Rotate from the dashboard — no downtime.

Cross-lab fallback chains

Every model has a typed fallback chain spanning at least three labs. A Vertex 503, an Anthropic 429, or a DeepSeek timeout degrades to the next provider before surfacing an error.

Drop-in compatibility

OpenAI SDK, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK — anything that takes a base URL works unchanged.

Streaming, tool use, JSON mode

Everything the upstream model supports passes through untouched, plus kwargs the OpenAI shape does not cover.
