Auriko is an AI gateway: one OpenAI-compatible API that sends your requests to models
from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek and many other providers. What sets
it apart is how it picks the route. Its founders describe themselves as former quant
traders, and Auriko treats inference providers like trading venues. For each request
it builds a list of eligible providers, applies your hard limits (model, capabilities,
budget, data policy), then scores the candidates on cost, latency, throughput and
success rate. The cost model goes beyond list prices: it accounts for each provider’s
prompt-caching rules and your own usage pattern, and re-evaluates every request,
including mid-session when a cache may have gone cold. If a provider errors or hits
a rate limit before responding, Auriko falls back to the next-best route.

Auriko publishes its own benchmark claiming an average 30% cost reduction against
direct providers and other routers; that is the company’s own test. It also offers
fallback routing, bring-your-own-keys, budget limits by workspace or API key, and
an analytics dashboard. Its privacy policy says it is a zero-data-retention proxy
that does not read, log or store prompts and responses, and does not train models
on your data. The company is Auriko, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Auriko launched
on Product Hunt on 9 July 2026 and finished #1 for the day with 387 points and 72
comments.
