Conifer Gateway fronts more than 200 models behind a single endpoint at api.conifer.build that speaks both the OpenAI and Anthropic wire formats. A router picks the venue for each query, handling provider choice, failover, and cache management, and a named model is always served as that model.
The gateway is billed as prepaid pay-as-you-go at catalog rates, and a customer bringing its own provider keys pays no routing fee. A console carries the keys, spending, routing decisions, and receipts for the account.
Conifer Gateway is one OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoint for more than 200 models.
