Lumen API (LLM cost-router) ยท Buyer resources
How to get an llm?
A vendor-neutral, OpenAI-compatible LLM router that sends each request to the cheapest model meeting the quality needed, sold in Starter, Indie, Pro, Scale and Enterprise tiers plus metered usage. It is positioned on governance and audit rather than raw routing, because the market floor for routing is free.
For software development, choose between a hosted model API and a self-hosted model according to quality, latency, data handling and operating cost. A gateway can unify multiple hosted providers. This guide uses LLM to mean large language model, not a law degree.
What to verify before buying
- Routing quality under the same evaluation set
- Provider fees plus gateway fees
- Budgets, log retention and access policy
- Fallback behavior, latency and audit exports
