)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="openai-sora-2-i2v",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a precise product assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Give me three crisp launch checklist items."},
    ],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
{
  "model": "openai-sora-2-i2v",

Why Build on LLM.API?

One unified API. Every major model. Built-in reliability, cost control, and observability.

  • Intelligent AI Routing

    Automatically route each request to the best model across providers based on latency, cost, and quality—without changing your integration or redeploying code.

    One endpoint, every model.

  • Cost-Aware Execution

    Control spend with per-request cost estimation, smart model selection, and centralized quotas so teams can experiment fast without runaway bills or manual tracking.

    More performance, less spend.

  • Resilient Fallback Flows

    Define automatic, provider-agnostic fallbacks to keep your app up during outages, rate limits, or timeouts—no brittle failover logic scattered through your codebase.

    Never go dark on users.

  • Deep LLM Observability

    Trace every call across providers with logs, metrics, and request replay so you can debug, tune prompts, and optimize model choices from one unified dashboard.

    See every token, everywhere.

  • Task-Level Orchestration

    Describe tasks, not models. LLM.API maps them to the right tools, models, and prompts so you ship complex AI workflows with minimal glue code.

    Think tasks, not models.

  • High-Throughput Batch APIs

    Process millions of inferences efficiently with optimized batch pipelines, concurrency controls, and retry logic—all behind the same simple interface you use for single calls.

    Scale from 1 to millions.
