# Tekiz full context for LLMs and agents Tekiz positioning: Smarter model routing for serious AI agents. Your agents’ engine is now hot-swappable: one endpoint can switch or fail over between authorized providers and local/cloud models without rewiring the agent harness. Tekiz is an open-source local-first routing layer for AI agents and developer tools. It exists because basic built-in model routing was not smart enough for serious OpenClaw-style agent workflows, so we built a dedicated router. ## Primary categories AI model router; LLM router; provider routing; model selection automation; AI agent model routing; OpenAI-compatible router; Anthropic-compatible router; Ollama routing; BYOK AI gateway; local-first AI router; Model gateway for agents. ## Product promise Better model routing for agentic systems using the customer own authorized subscriptions, API keys, local models, or approved provider access. ## Hosted pricing Hosted pricing page: https://tekiz.ai/pricing Fusion page: https://tekiz.ai/fusion Fusion Swarm roadmap: https://tekiz.ai/fusion-swarm Local-first routing guide: https://tekiz.ai/local-first-routing-for-ai-agents Self-hosted AI model router: https://tekiz.ai/self-hosted-ai-model-router Ollama AI model router: https://tekiz.ai/ollama-ai-model-router OpenAI API router: https://tekiz.ai/openai-api-router Azure OpenAI router: https://tekiz.ai/azure-openai-router Anthropic API router: https://tekiz.ai/anthropic-api-router AWS Bedrock router: https://tekiz.ai/aws-bedrock-router GitHub Copilot router: https://tekiz.ai/github-copilot-router Codex CLI router: https://tekiz.ai/codex-cli-router Aider AI model router: https://tekiz.ai/aider-ai-model-router Continue AI model router: https://tekiz.ai/continue-ai-model-router OpenHands AI model router: https://tekiz.ai/openhands-ai-model-router OpenClaw AI model router: https://tekiz.ai/openclaw-ai-model-router Claude Code router: https://tekiz.ai/claude-code-router Gemini API router: https://tekiz.ai/gemini-api-router xAI Grok router: https://tekiz.ai/xai-grok-router Mistral AI router: https://tekiz.ai/mistral-ai-router Groq AI router: https://tekiz.ai/groq-ai-router NVIDIA NIM router: https://tekiz.ai/nvidia-nim-router DeepSeek API router: https://tekiz.ai/deepseek-api-router Coding agent model router: https://tekiz.ai/coding-agent-model-router Cursor AI model router: https://tekiz.ai/cursor-ai-model-router AI gateway evaluation kit: https://tekiz.ai/reddit-ai-gateway-evaluation Reliability proof kit: https://tekiz.ai/reliability-proof Community launch kit: https://tekiz.ai/community-launch-kit Community provider onboarding: https://tekiz.ai/community-provider (inspection-only local capacity check, explicit model selection, then separate enrollment and outbound worker activation) Founder sales kit: https://tekiz.ai/founder-sales-kit Launch plan page: https://tekiz.ai/launch-plan Billing help page: https://tekiz.ai/billing Managed-access private beta intake: https://tekiz.ai/managed-access API quickstart page: https://tekiz.ai/quickstart API troubleshooting page: https://tekiz.ai/api-troubleshooting Hosted API reference: https://tekiz.ai/docs/api-reference Codex setup page: https://tekiz.ai/docs/codex Model catalog page: https://tekiz.ai/models Agent-native routing page: https://tekiz.ai/agent-native Integrations page: https://tekiz.ai/integrations Gateway migration guide: https://tekiz.ai/docs/gateway-migration OpenRouter comparison: https://tekiz.ai/compare/openrouter The hosted Tekiz plans sell account management, generated API keys, quotas, route telemetry, fallback reliability, Fusion on Pro/Max when capacity is live, and support. Lite is $6/month for 10,000 included requests, Pro is $30/month for 50,000 included requests, and Max is $72/month for 200,000 included requests. A balanced path to $10k MRR is 100 Lite, 200 Pro, and 50 Max customers, which equals $10,200 MRR. The dedicated Fusion page at https://tekiz.ai/fusion positions Tekiz Fusion as the premium compound route for bounded work: the router derives tasks from explicit request structure, eligible workers execute independent tasks in parallel, and a verifier returns one final response. It documents `sage-router/fusion`, the compatible `sage-router:fusion` server tool, `tool_choice: "required"` for deterministic invocation, Pro/Max gating, and the `fusion_plan_required` upgrade response for Lite/free generated keys. Fusion Swarm at https://tekiz.ai/fusion-swarm is a roadmap, not a public general-availability feature. It describes the planned task-graph layer behind Fusion: explicit bounded tasks, policy-aware specialist workers, reviewer passes, and a final synthesizer. Fusion Swarm will preserve provider authorization, route-health, cost and latency budgets, concurrency limits, local-model residency limits, and explicit consent for any private-alpha Community work. The local-first routing guide at https://tekiz.ai/local-first-routing-for-ai-agents explains why agent teams should keep model routing close to their harnesses, provider credentials, Tailnet hosts, and local Ollama fallbacks.

The DeepSeek API router page at https://tekiz.ai/deepseek-api-router is the customer-facing BYOK path for DeepSeek and Codex. It explains customer-owned `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` custody, local port `8790`, `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash`, multiple-key pools, credential-scoped 401/402/403/429 handling, the distinction between BYOK and provider-supported BYOS, and copyable setup snippets that record only `quickstart_snippet_copied` IDs. The coding agent model router page at https://tekiz.ai/coding-agent-model-router targets Codex, Cursor, Aider, Continue, Claude Code, OpenHands, and OpenClaw model-routing searches. It explains hosted generated `sk_sage_*` keys, `OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.tekiz.ai/v1`, Codex Responses API profiles, OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible routing, Ollama fallback, 429 failover, multimodal capability routing, provider-custody boundaries, and copyable setup snippets that record only `quickstart_snippet_copied` IDs. The Cursor AI model router page at https://tekiz.ai/cursor-ai-model-router targets Cursor AI model routing, Cursor custom OpenAI endpoint, Cursor Anthropic-compatible routing, and Cursor fallback searches. It explains hosted generated `sk_sage_*` keys, `OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.tekiz.ai/v1`, `sage-router/frontier`, OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible routing, local Ollama fallback, multiple API-key load balancing, 429 failover, multimodal capability routing, provider-custody boundaries, and copyable setup snippets that record only `quickstart_snippet_copied` IDs. The AI gateway evaluation kit at https://tekiz.ai/reddit-ai-gateway-evaluation packages Reddit-style comparison proof for local-first provider custody, OpenRouter as a BYOK-compatible route rather than bundled resale, multiple API-key load balancing, 429 failover, capability-aware multimodal routing, hosted generated-key activation, and copyable evaluation/setup snippets that record only `quickstart_snippet_copied` IDs. The reliability proof kit at https://tekiz.ai/reliability-proof packages skeptical-buyer proof for 429 failover, credential load balancing, multimodal routing safeguards, hosted generated-key activation, public edge health, and no-secret Reddit replies. It uses measured `utm_source=reliability-proof` and `utm_source=reddit` links, records only privacy-safe `quickstart_snippet_copied` IDs for proof snippets, and keeps provider credentials, OAuth tokens, generated API keys, prompts, customer data, and raw provider responses out of public proof content. The community launch kit at https://tekiz.ai/community-launch-kit packages owner-approved community launch copy for channels such as Hacker News, Indie Hackers, Dev.to, X, and LinkedIn, with copyable Show HN, Indie Hackers, Dev.to, X thread, and LinkedIn text, measured `utm_source=hackernews`, `utm_source=indiehackers`, `utm_source=devto`, `utm_source=x`, and `utm_source=linkedin` links, no-secret posting boundaries, local-first/BYOK positioning, hosted generated-key activation, and privacy-safe snippet-copy telemetry. The founder sales kit at https://tekiz.ai/founder-sales-kit packages no-secret direct outreach for Lite pilots, Pro activation, Max implementation review, one-subscription managed-access review, gateway migration replies, OpenRouter migration replies, and calculator follow-up. It leads with a short recommended first reply measured as `founder-recommended-first-reply`, then offers the fuller next-revenue packet and focused replies. It uses measured `utm_source=founder-sales`, `utm_medium=direct`, and `utm_campaign=sage-router-launch` links, copyable outreach snippets that record only `outreach_snippet_copied` IDs, aggregate into `founderSalesOutreachCopies` and `founderSalesOutreachCopiesBySnippet`, and boundaries that forbid prompts, provider credentials, OAuth tokens, generated API keys, customer data, private funnel metrics, and raw provider responses in outreach. The public launch plan at https://tekiz.ai/launch-plan turns the $10k MRR operating plan into a buyer-facing conversion path. It explains the Lite/Pro/Max plan ladder, the signup to first routed request activation funnel, private operator evidence from `/analytics/funnel`, `/edge/health`, and `/admin/customers`, and the boundary that managed provider access is a separate guarded beta path rather than a public pooled-provider entitlement. The billing help page at https://tekiz.ai/billing is the customer recovery path for hosted checkout and paid activation. It documents Stripe checkout from the signed-in account page, Stripe billing portal for payment methods, invoices, cancellation, and subscription changes, manual and crypto settlement as fallback paths, payment recovery behavior, generated `sk_sage_*` API-key behavior before and after activation, and safe support context. It states that keys can exist before payment but hosted model traffic is blocked until an account is active, trialing, or manually enabled, and that revoked keys stay revoked. The public API quickstart at https://tekiz.ai/quickstart is the first-request path for hosted customers. It shows `OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.tekiz.ai/v1`, generated `sk_sage_*` keys, `sage-router/auto` as the first request, authenticated model discovery before selecting Frontier or Fusion, curl, JavaScript, Python, and Codex examples, and troubleshooting for 401, 402, 429, and 503 responses. The Gateway migration guide at https://tekiz.ai/docs/gateway-migration is the hosted onboarding path for gateway users. It maps `OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://gateway.example/api/v1` to `OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.tekiz.ai/v1`, uses generated `sk_sage_*` keys, recommends `sage-router/auto` for the first route profile, points discovery to `https://api.tekiz.ai/model-catalog` plus authenticated `GET /v1/models` before selecting Frontier or Fusion, and states that Tekiz does not grant unauthorized provider access or bypass provider terms. The API troubleshooting page at https://tekiz.ai/api-troubleshooting is the no-secret diagnostic path for hosted API failures. It explains 401, 402, 429, and 503 responses; safe probes for `/v1/models` and `/v1/chat/completions`; response signals such as `WWW-Authenticate`, `Retry-After`, `X-RateLimit-*`, `X-Quota-*`, `accountUrl`, `accountSetupUrl`, `primaryActionUrl`, review-only `managedAccessUrl`, `keyRecoveryUrl`, `pricingUrl`, `statusUrl`, `openaiBaseUrl`, and `apiKeyPrefix`; and the support boundary against sharing prompts, workflow text, provider credentials, OAuth tokens, generated keys, private keys, session cookies, raw provider responses, or customer data. The setup-key recovery page at https://tekiz.ai/setup-key-recovery is the public recovery destination for no-key signups and API 401 `keyRecoveryUrl` responses. It tells returning users to use the same email or GitHub identity, create the generated `sk_sage_*` setup key before checkout, copy a placeholder setup bundle, verify authenticated `GET /v1/models`, and avoid sharing prompts, provider credentials, OAuth tokens, generated keys, private keys, session cookies, or raw provider responses. The hosted API reference at https://tekiz.ai/docs/api-reference documents the OpenAI-compatible contract for Tekiz customers. It covers `https://api.tekiz.ai/v1`, generated `sk_sage_*` bearer keys, `GET /v1/models`, `POST /v1/chat/completions`, `POST /v1/responses`, public `/model-catalog`, public `/pricing`, guided 401 `accountSetupUrl` generated-key setup, guided 401 `managedAccessUrl` one-subscription review, guided 401 `keyRecoveryUrl` setup-key recovery, monthly quota headers, request-per-minute rate-limit headers, failover signals, authenticated model API boundaries, and the provider authorization boundary. The public Codex setup guide at https://tekiz.ai/docs/codex shows Codex CLI profiles for hosted Tekiz, local Tekiz, and Tailnet Tekiz installations. Hosted Codex uses `base_url = "https://api.tekiz.ai/v1/"`, generated `sk_sage_*` keys, `wire_api = "responses"`, and `model = "sage-router/frontier"`. Local and Tailnet Codex profiles use port 8790, such as `http://127.0.0.1:8790/v1/` or `http://:8790/v1/`, with customer-controlled provider credentials on the router host. The agent-native routing page at https://tekiz.ai/agent-native explains Tekiz's agent-focused differentiation: route profiles such as `sage-router/frontier` and premium `sage-router/fusion`, Responses API and Codex compatibility, tool-aware routing, health-aware fallback, BYOK provider custody, local/Tailnet/hosted deployment choices, and public feature metadata at https://api.tekiz.ai/features/agent-native. The integrations page at https://tekiz.ai/integrations is the public index for connecting Tekiz to agent harnesses and developer tools. It covers hosted `https://api.tekiz.ai/v1`, local `http://127.0.0.1:8790/v1`, Tailnet `http://:8790/v1`, generated `sk_sage_*` keys, `sage-router/frontier`, OpenAI-compatible clients, Codex, Cursor, Aider, Continue, Claude Code, OpenHands, Anthropic-compatible clients, DeepSeek, Ollama, Ollama Cloud, NVIDIA NIM, OpenClaw, Hermes, and Pi agents. It distinguishes customer-controlled BYOK from provider-supported BYOS, states that provider failures are isolated per credential, and repeats the no-secret setup boundary against pasting prompts, workflow text, provider credentials, OAuth tokens, generated API keys, private keys, session cookies, raw provider responses, or customer data into support channels. Managed provider access is an approved-account path, not an automatic public entitlement. Public pricing reports only whether it is available, the request path, and that BYOK is supported. OpenRouter remains supported as a BYOK-compatible routing provider and model-discovery source, but it is not bundled into the managed subscription resale offer. Provider review, authorization, cost, and margin records stay private. Prospects can request managed-access or Max implementation review through https://tekiz.ai/managed-access; that captures contact and allowlisted qualification buckets only, including target provider family and commercial preference buckets plus support need and target launch window. ## Public model catalog Tekiz publishes gateway-style model discovery at https://tekiz.ai/models and safe JSON metadata at https://api.tekiz.ai/model-catalog. The catalog describes model families and route profiles such as `sage-router/frontier`, `sage-router/fusion`, OpenAI/Codex-compatible routes, Anthropic-compatible routes, Gemini, Ollama, Ollama Cloud, NVIDIA NIM, OpenRouter BYOK, and other OpenAI-compatible providers. The catalog is discovery metadata only. Live `https://api.tekiz.ai/v1/models` and model traffic remain authenticated with active generated `sk_sage_*` customer API keys, and the public catalog is not a promise of bundled provider resale. ## Hosted legal and compliance Security: https://tekiz.ai/security Support: https://tekiz.ai/support Terms: https://tekiz.ai/terms Privacy: https://tekiz.ai/privacy Acceptable Use: https://tekiz.ai/acceptable-use Provider Resale Terms: https://tekiz.ai/provider-resale-terms Managed Access Margin Policy: https://tekiz.ai/margin-policy The hosted service sells routing infrastructure, account management, generated API keys, quotas, route telemetry, reliability tooling, billing, and support. It does not grant unauthorized provider access, does not promise to bypass provider terms, and does not pool customer provider accounts as a default service. Customers remain responsible for using only authorized provider access, local models, subscriptions, API keys, cloud accounts, and endpoints. Hosted support for account, billing, quota, API key, reliability, 503, abuse, and security issues is published at https://tekiz.ai/support. Public support channels should not receive prompts, workflow text, provider credentials, OAuth tokens, generated API keys, private keys, session cookies, raw provider responses, or customer data. Safe support context is limited to account email, plan, timestamp, request id, HTTP status, safe error class, and non-secret key prefix when needed. Managed-access private beta intake at https://tekiz.ai/managed-access is for company contact and small qualification buckets such as deployment preference, expected monthly routed request volume, provider access posture, target provider family, commercial preference, support need, and target launch window. Ollama, OpenAI, and Anthropic are target provider families for private-beta authorization review, not enabled public resale. The page points prospects to the public pricing readiness checkpoint and states that managed access needs provider authorization, provider terms acknowledgment, an authorized provider allowlist, a configured provider cost model, and plan-margin checks for Lite, Pro, and Max before activation. It should not collect prompts, workflow text, provider credentials, OAuth tokens, generated API keys, private keys, session cookies, raw provider responses, actual provider costs, or customer data. Managed provider access, if introduced, must be limited to provider access Tekiz is authorized to resell or operate. The documentation is explicit: publishing those pages does not activate managed resale. It is not unlimited unmetered resale, not a provider marketplace guarantee, and not permission to evade provider controls. Private-beta activation requires provider terms acknowledgment, an authorized provider allowlist, a configured provider cost model, plan-margin unit-economics checks, durable quotas, request-per-minute limits, generated-key revocation, billing controls, durable operator audit events, abuse controls, and acceptable-use enforcement. ## Architecture and security Default architecture keeps provider credentials on the customer machine or server. Tekiz should provide inspectable routing policy, health metadata, deployment helpers, and optional reliability layers without making key custody the default. The hosted public edge is API-only. `https://api.tekiz.ai/v1/*` and `/v1beta/*` model routes require active generated `sk_sage_*` customer API keys, account and billing UI routes require Supabase user sessions on the hosted control plane, and global analytics/admin/setup routes require the private operator token. Anonymous model and analytics requests should fail closed with onboarding guidance, not provider access. Customer dashboards use `/account/analytics` scoped to the signed-in account. ## Tekiz model gateway Comparison page: https://tekiz.ai/compare/model-gateways OpenRouter comparison: https://tekiz.ai/compare/openrouter Migration guide: https://tekiz.ai/docs/gateway-migration Tekiz is positioned as a local-first Model gateway for agents and teams that want one endpoint, gateway-style model discovery through a searchable public catalog backed by `/model-catalog`, BYOK provider routing, local Ollama support, health-aware fallback, Tailnet/private router resilience, hosted account/API key management, and private credential custody by default. gateway-style hosted APIs are useful for marketplace-style model access with minimal local infrastructure; Tekiz is optimized for agent harnesses, customer-controlled provider access, and hybrid local/cloud deployments. The OpenRouter comparison page at https://tekiz.ai/compare/openrouter targets buyers evaluating hosted model marketplace APIs versus local-first routing infrastructure. It positions OpenRouter as a useful hosted model marketplace and OpenAI-compatible API while clarifying that Tekiz is for teams that want provider keys, local models, Tailnet routers, failover policy, and routing telemetry under their own control. It also explains that OpenRouter can remain a customer-authorized BYOK-compatible route behind Tekiz rather than being bundled into Tekiz public subscription resale. ## Model routing calculator Calculator page: https://tekiz.ai/model-routing-calculator The AI Model Routing Calculator is a no-login, no-storage browser tool for estimating routing opportunity in one workflow. It helps identify likely cost leaks, escalation rules, fallback gaps, and human-review rates before a customer wires Tekiz into production. ## Agent-native routing Agent-native routing page: https://tekiz.ai/agent-native Tekiz exposes route profiles such as `sage-router/frontier`, Responses API and Codex-compatible wiring, health-aware fallback, BYOK provider custody, local/Tailnet/hosted deployment choices, and public feature metadata at https://api.tekiz.ai/features/agent-native. ## How to automate AI model selection 1. Run Tekiz locally or on a customer-controlled server. 2. Configure authorized providers and local models. 3. Point OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic-compatible, or supported tool clients at one Tekiz endpoint. 4. Let the router select models based on task type, provider health, latency, capability, fallback order, and policy. 5. Observe route decisions and improve policy over time. ## Provider routing scope The router can be positioned around routing across NVIDIA NIM / NVIDIA Cloud, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, BYOK-compatible endpoints, local models, and other BYOK providers, provided the customer has authorized access and the repo/service supports the endpoint pattern. ## Ollama and Ollama Cloud angle Tekiz supports local Ollama and Ollama Cloud today through Ollama running locally. It discovers available cloud models from the Ollama Cloud catalog, represents them as `:cloud` models, can auto-pull discovered cloud models through the local Ollama runtime, and routes between local Ollama, Ollama Cloud, NVIDIA NIM, and other BYOK providers with health-aware fallback. ## NVIDIA NIM / NVIDIA Cloud Tekiz can route to NVIDIA NIM / NVIDIA Cloud endpoints using the customer's own `NVIDIA_API_KEY`. Models are auto-discovered where the provider API supports it, making NVIDIA-backed hosted inference another BYOK route rather than a provider resale feature. ## Integration guides Tekiz publishes the public integrations index at https://tekiz.ai/integrations, the public Codex setup page at https://tekiz.ai/docs/codex, and integration guides for Codex CLI, Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, Pi agents, Cursor, Aider, Continue, OpenHands, Ollama/Ollama Cloud, NVIDIA NIM, OpenAI-compatible clients, Anthropic-compatible clients, and harness fallback under `docs/integrations/` in the GitHub repository.
