What is HiWay2LLM?
HiWay2LLM is a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) LLM gateway that routes your requests to the best model based on your choice, while handling:
- Unified API — one endpoint, all providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Perplexity)
- Transparent pricing — you pay provider cost + a small platform fee, never a hidden markup
- Smart routing — auto-selects optimal model tier based on your budget and task
- Detailed usage tracking — per-request cost, tokens, model used
