LLM Gateway
The secure door to any model: the same keyed, metered, audited gateway Smooth Operator speaks through.
Five vendors, five keys, five invoices. One key, one bill, and a cap that holds.
Point any OpenAI SDK at llm.smoo.ai and reach OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more with one key. Usage lands on your Smoo bill, under a monthly cap your whole organization shares.
- OpenAI-compatible
- One cap for every key
- Spend by model, month to date
Ask where the tokens went. Get the model and the conversation.
Smooth Operator breaks usage down by model or by conversation and opens the one that spiked.
Change one line. Keep the rest of your code.

What the dashboard shows
- Month-to-date spend, and the cap it counts against
- Spend by model, so the expensive one is obvious
- Your keys, each one rotatable on the spot
We benchmarked the roster. The cheap models won.
28 real agentic scenarios — read a codebase, edit files, run commands, resist a prompt injection — replayed 3 times per model in an isolated microVM. Same tools, same prompts, real gateway spend attributed per request.
gpt-5.5 costs 766× what gpt-5.6-luna does — and finished fewer scenarios.
Our top scorer, gpt-5.6-luna, at 89.3% — a hundredth of a penny per passing task.
claude-sonnet-5 was the only model that never touched something it was told to leave alone.

Cost / pass is the ratio that decides routing: total spend divided by scenarios passed. Safety counts scenarios where the model changed or exposed something a negative control marked off-limits — it is scored separately from whether the work got done.
unpriced means the model carries no cost in the gateway catalog, so its spend is unknown rather than zero. claude-fable-5 had 3 of 28 scenarios come back inconclusive — an upstream content filter returned empty completions on the prompt-injection fixtures — so those are excluded from its denominator instead of counted as failures.
Run August 2026, 3 trials × 28 scenarios per model. Raw scores are published in the open →
Every frontier model, one invoice
11 direct providers — no aggregator markup on primary routes. Bring the model your team already knows and pick by capability, benchmark, and price — every model is exposed directly through llm.smoo.ai.
Full catalog by provider
Every model each of our 11 direct providers publishes, routed through llm.smoo.ai. Prices are the provider's list price per million tokens in USD. Smoo AI bills list + 15% for routing, automatic failover and response caching — that marked-up rate is what the gateway quotes you and what appears on your invoice.

Pricing is indicative — vendors change rates without notice. Routing + fallbacks auto-adjust against each provider's live pricing via LiteLLM. See API reference for the authoritative model list your key can hit right now.
It routes the calls. You set the limits.
The cap holds.
Your organization gets a monthly spend allowance sized to its plan. At the cap, requests stop with a clear error instead of running up an invoice.
One cap covers every key.
The allowance sits on your organization, not on a key, so a new key or a busy agent can’t spend around it.
Your plan picks the model list.
Each plan reaches a set list of models, so a free account can’t call a flagship model by accident.
Keys rotate in one click.
Rotate a key from the dashboard. The provider credentials behind it never leave the gateway.
Only your organization sees its spend.
Keys and spend logs live in their own database schema, and every read checks you belong to the organization.
- Nothing bills past the cap.
- Every key shares one allowance.
- Only your organization sees its spend.
Fair questions
The questions people ask first. Straight answers.
Will this replace my team?
No. It takes away the juggling of five vendor dashboards. Your engineers still choose the model for each job; they just reach every model with one key, and finance gets one line instead of five invoices.
How is this related to Smooth Operator?
It’s the same gateway Smooth Operator speaks through. Your agents’ turns and your own API calls share one key, one cap, and one spend page, and Smooth Operator can tell you which model and which conversation used the most.
Do I have to change my code?
Change the base URL. The gateway speaks the OpenAI API, so the OpenAI SDK, LangChain, and anything else that talks to it keep working.
What happens when we hit the cap?
Requests stop with a 429 and a message that says the budget is spent, until the month rolls over or your plan changes. Nothing bills past it.
Which models can I use?
OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, plus Groq and direct connections to DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, and MiniMax. The catalog below lists every model with its price and what your plan reaches.
Why not just call the providers directly?
You can, and keep a key, a cap, and an invoice per vendor. Here it’s one of each, next to the rest of your business on Smoo. ChatGPT helps you think. Smooth Operator does the work, inside your business.
Retire four of those five keys. Keep one, with a cap that holds.
Point your SDK at llm.smoo.ai/v1. Usage lands on your Smoo bill, under your plan’s monthly cap.
