OpenRouter alternative with BYOK
Answer: Cybertronic Routing is an OpenRouter-class gateway that defaults to your provider API keys (BYOK) on one OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint, with deterministic fallback and metadata-only telemetry.
When to pick Cybertronic
- You want OpenRouter-style convenience but production teams require direct provider relationships.
- You need trace headers (
X-Cybertronic-Route-ID) and tested stream/fallback rules. - You may add hosted credits later on the same API — not a dead-end BYOK-only story.
When OpenRouter is fine
Fastest path to try many models on hosted credits without operating a gateway.
