FreeAI Agents4,035 impressions#3 of its week

Auriko is a zero-markup inference router built by ex-quant traders for one purpose: help you arbitrage inference cost across providers. Our A/B tests show up to 40% cost reduction versus inference providers. See how we do it: https://www.auriko.ai/blog/cost-optimization Auriko gives developers one API to access many AI models and inference providers. Chat Completions and Responses API are both supported. Auriko also works with agentic coding tools like Claude Code, OpenCode, Hermes, and more. For AI teams running agents, coding tools, evals, or production LLM apps, Auriko makes it easy to switch models, cut cost, and improve uptime without changing application code. Ship faster. Spend less. Stay reliable. Reach out at hello@auriko.ai to get welcome credit.

Auriko provides a single API to route inference requests across many LLM providers, optimizing cost and reliability.
