Gate has officially launched GateRouter, an AI model routing platform. The platform provides developers with a unified entry point for large model calls, allowing users to access multiple mainstream AI models through a single API. The system intelligently matches the most suitable model to complete tasks, significantly reducing costs while maintaining performance.

### **30-Second Integration: One API to Call All Models**

GateRouter is designed to make AI model integration simpler. The platform adopts a compatibility-based approach, enabling developers to complete integration or replace existing models within 30 seconds using just a single command. The platform also provides a developer console for managing API keys, viewing call logs and usage statistics, and includes a built-in Playground that allows users to compare the performance and calling costs of different models online.

GateRouter has integrated 20+ mainstream large models, covering providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Qwen, and Moonshot. Developers can access them through a unified interface without applying for multiple API keys separately.

In terms of security, GateRouter does not store user conversation content by default. All data transmission is encrypted via HTTPS, and an optional logging feature is provided to help developers debug and optimize while ensuring privacy and security.

### **Smart Routing: Automatically Selecting the Most Suitable Model**

As the number of AI models continues to grow, developers often need to choose between different models. The core capability of GateRouter is Smart Routing, where the system automatically matches the most suitable model based on task complexity. For example, simple requests use lower-cost models, while complex tasks call more powerful models.

In the current market, prices range from GPT-5.4 Pro (about \$180 / M output) to GPT-5 Nano (about \$0.40 / M output), representing a price difference of about 450×. Official data shows that in real-world usage, under the same API call scenario, simple tasks cost about \$0.0003, while complex tasks cost about \$0.06, a difference of around 200×. Through smart routing to automatically match models, compared with using flagship models for all tasks, the platform can reduce overall average AI inference costs by more than 80%.

### **Designed for AI Agents and AI Application Developers**

GateRouter is primarily designed for AI Agent and AI application developers, covering a range of technical and enterprise users:

-   **AI Agents and Agent developers:** Whether through autonomous agent calls or manual developer integration, the unified API enables multi-model routing and cost optimization.
-   **Institutional and enterprise users:** Suitable for teams requiring large-scale API calls, such as quantitative institutions, trading platforms, and AI product teams. The platform can support customized pricing, compliance auditing, and stablecoin settlement.
-   **Web3 builders:** Designed for developers building on-chain automation or decentralized applications, providing API access without credit cards and supporting native stablecoin payments.

### **Pay-As-You-Go and Flexible Payments Lower Development Barriers**

GateRouter services are currently available to developers free of charge for a limited time. In the future, the platform will adopt a pay-as-you-go model to help developers further optimize cost structures as usage scales.

In terms of payments, GateRouter supports a flexible and diverse payment system. The platform currently supports direct deduction from Gate Pay USDT balances, allowing users to complete payments without additional deposits or binding a credit card. In the future, more payment methods will be gradually supported, including fiat, credit cards, and cryptocurrency payments compliant with the x402 protocol, enabling AI Agents to automatically complete model calls and payment processes without manual intervention.

As an important component of the Gate for AI ecosystem, GateRouter further strengthens Gate's infrastructure for AI Agents and developers. By providing a unified model calling interface and smart routing capabilities, the platform lowers the barrier to AI application development and improves model calling efficiency for AI Agents in trading and automation scenarios. In the future, Gate will continue expanding its model ecosystem and developer tool capabilities, promoting deeper integration between AI Agents and digital asset infrastructure.
