The world's leading digital asset trading platform Gate announced the official launch of the AI model routing platform GateRouter. This platform provides developers with a unified entry point for large model calls, allowing users to connect to multiple mainstream AI models with a single API, while the system intelligently matches the most suitable model to complete tasks, significantly reducing costs while ensuring effectiveness.

Access in 30 seconds, one API call for all models

The design goal of GateRouter is to make AI model calls simpler. The platform adopts a compatible method, requiring only one line of command to complete the access or replacement of the original model in 30 seconds. The platform also provides a developer console to manage API keys, view call logs, and usage statistics, and has a built-in Playground for convenient online comparisons of different models' effectiveness and calling costs.

GateRouter has connected to over 25 mainstream large models, covering vendors such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Qwen, and Moonshot, allowing developers to make unified calls 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 it offers an optional logging function to facilitate developers in debugging and optimization 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 function of GateRouter is Smart Routing, which automatically matches the most suitable model based on task complexity. For example, simpler requests use lower-cost models, while more complex tasks utilize higher-performance models.

In the current market, the price range can vary from GPT-5.4 Pro (about $180 / M output) to GPT-5 Nano (about $0.40 / M output), reaching a price span of about 450 times. Official data shows that in actual use, a simple task costs about $0.0003 per API call, while a complex task costs about $0.06, with a cost difference of about 200 times. By automatically matching models through smart routing, the platform can lower the overall average AI inference cost by over 80% compared to using all flagship models.

Targeting AI Agents and AI application developers

GateRouter primarily targets AI Agents and AI application developers, covering various types of technology and enterprise users:

• AI Agents and Agent developers: Whether Agents call autonomously or developers integrate manually, multiple model routing and cost optimization can be achieved through a unified API.

• Institutions and enterprise users: Suitable for teams that require large-scale API calls, such as quantitative institutions, trading platforms, and AI product teams, supporting exclusive rates, compliance audits, and stablecoin settlements.

• Web3 Builders: Targeted at developers building on-chain automation or decentralized applications, providing API calling capabilities that do not require credit cards and support native stablecoin payments.

Pay-as-you-go and diversified payment options, lowering development thresholds

GateRouter's related services are currently temporarily free for developers. In the future, the platform will adopt a pay-as-you-go model to help developers further optimize cost structures when using at scale.

In terms of payment methods, GateRouter supports a more flexible diversified payment system. The platform currently supports direct deduction from Gate Pay USDT balance, allowing users to complete payments without additional top-up or credit card binding. In the future, it will gradually support fiat currencies, credit cards, and compliant cryptocurrency payments according to the x402 protocol, enabling AI Agents to automatically complete model calls and payment processes without human intervention.

As an important component of the Gate for AI system, GateRouter further enhances Gate's infrastructure layout for AI Agents and developers. Through a unified model calling interface and smart routing capability, the platform lowers the development threshold for AI applications and improves the efficiency of model calls by AI Agents in trading and automation scenarios. In the future, Gate will continue to expand the model ecosystem and developer tool capabilities, promoting the deep integration of AI Agents with digital asset infrastructure.
