SeedRouter

Product Introduction

1. Overview: SeedRouter is a unified API gateway and orchestration platform that provides standardized access to a curated marketplace of cutting-edge AI models across multiple modalities, including large language models (LLMs), image generation, video synthesis, and audio processing.
2. Value: It eliminates the complexity of managing multiple API keys, SDKs, and billing systems from different AI providers, offering developers a single integration point with transparent, consumption-based pricing and guaranteed cost control for failed requests.

Main Features

1. Unified Multi-Modal API: Provides a single, consistent API endpoint and SDK compatibility (OpenAI, Anthropic) to call state-of-the-art models like GPT-6 Astra, Claude Opus 5.5, Kimi K3, DeepSeek V4.1, and video models like Seedance 2.5, abstracting away provider-specific complexities.
2. True Pay-Per-Request Billing: Implements a granular, usage-based pricing model where users pay only for successful API calls (e.g., per 1M tokens for LLMs, per second for video generation). Failed requests incur zero cost, providing financial predictability and risk mitigation.
3. Live Model Marketplace & Playground: Features a dynamic catalog of immediately available AI models with real-time pricing, detailed parameters, and integrated interactive playgrounds for instant testing and prototyping without commitment.

Problems Solved

1. Challenge: Developers and businesses face significant integration overhead, vendor lock-in, and unpredictable costs when sourcing and managing AI capabilities from multiple, siloed providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, ByteDance).
2. Audience: Product teams, AI engineers, and startups building applications that require reliable, multi-modal AI capabilities without the operational burden of managing numerous vendor relationships and billing accounts.
3. Scenario: A startup building an AI-powered content creation tool needs to generate images, write copy with an LLM, and create short videos. Instead of integrating three separate services, they use SeedRouter's single API to orchestrate all tasks, simplifying development and consolidating billing.

Unique Advantages

1. Vs Competitors: Unlike single-provider platforms or basic API aggregators, SeedRouter offers deep SDK compatibility (mimicking OpenAI/Anthropic formats), a no-cost guarantee on failures, and a focus on the latest model generation (e.g., GPT-6, Claude 5.5 series) with transparent per-token/second pricing.
2. Innovation: Its core technical edge is the financial model that decouples cost from attempt, charging only for successful compute. This, combined with real-time model onboarding and a unified interface, significantly reduces the barrier and risk of experimenting with and deploying advanced AI.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How does SeedRouter's pricing work? SeedRouter uses a pure consumption-based model: you pay only for successful API usage (e.g., per million input tokens for LLMs like GPT-6, per second of generated video for Seedance 2.5). Failed requests or errors are not charged, and there is no monthly minimum or subscription fee.
2. What AI models are available on SeedRouter? The platform provides access to leading models across categories: Language (GPT-6 Astra/Sol, Claude Opus 5.5, Kimi K3, DeepSeek V4.1), Video (ByteDance's Seedance 2.0, 2.5 family), and Image (Google's Nano Banana 2). The live marketplace is constantly updated with new models.
3. How do I integrate SeedRouter into my application? Integration is designed for simplicity. Use your single SeedRouter API key with familiar SDKs; the platform is compatible with the OpenAI and Anthropic SDK formats, meaning you can often switch your existing code's base URL to SeedRouter's endpoint with minimal changes.
