GateRouter is an intelligent AI model routing platform launched by Gate. It enables unified access to 20+ leading AI models, including GPT, Claude, DeepSeek, and Gemini. Powered by Smart Routing, GateRouter automatically selects the most suitable model for each task—using cost-efficient models for simple requests and high-performance models for complex workloads. This ensures optimal results while significantly reducing AI inference costs, with average savings of over 80%. It provides a unified API endpoint and is compatible with the OpenAI SDK. Developers can integrate multiple models with minimal configuration — no need to connect to different providers or rely on a VPN.
GateRouter follows a pay-as-you-go pricing model with $0 monthly fees and offers limited-time free trial credits. Users don't need to subscribe to a plan; they can scale on demand and pay only for the tokens they use. It also supports direct payments via Gate Pay using USDT balances, with zero transaction fees. Looking ahead, it will introduce native on-chain payments via the x402 protocol, enabling AI agents to autonomously execute model calls and payments per transaction—without the need for credit cards or traditional payment methods.
To help Gate users better experience GateRouter's AI model calls and smart routing, we are launching a limited-time trial campaign. During the event, Gate users who log in to GateRouter can receive 3 million tokens in AI trial credits. These credits can be used to explore multi-model orchestration and the efficiency brought by intelligent routing. We invite all users to join and be among the first to discover GateRouter's potential.
