The record

Product: YoloRouter is an OpenAI-compatible AI model routing gateway that routes requests across multiple AI providers.
API compatibility: The API supports OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses, Anthropic Messages, and Gemini generateContent protocols.
Provider routing: It provides multi-provider failover, ordered provider candidates, and upstream key pooling.
Protocol translation: Clients and providers can use different protocols because YoloRouter translates between supported protocols.
Supported providers: The documentation lists access to providers including OpenAI and Anthropic through one endpoint.
Streaming: Streaming uses Server-Sent Events with usage tracking.
Media APIs: The gateway exposes OpenAI Images and Videos APIs beside chat and bills delivered images or delivered seconds.
Cost optimization: YoloRouter can compress bulky tool output before forwarding it to upstream models and reports measured savings.
Access controls: API keys support model allowlists, rate and concurrency limits, cumulative budget caps, optional expiry, and instant revocation.
Team features: The admin console supports multiple users, OAuth2/OIDC single sign-on, per-user usage visibility, and administrative account controls.
Storage and deployment: The product is distributed as a single binary with an embedded admin console, requires no Node runtime, uses SQLite by default, and optionally supports PostgreSQL.
Security: Upstream provider keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256, while admin credentials and API keys are hashed.
Security reporting: Security vulnerabilities should be reported through GitHub's private Security Advisories flow rather than public issues or pull requests.
Cloud billing: YoloRouter Cloud uses top-up credits with no subscription and no minimum spend, charging users only for usage.
