One API, every model — watch the NextModel tour

A 50-second tour of NextModel: one OpenAI-compatible API that routes across providers, passes upstream prompt-cache hits through 1:1 at official cached rates, and anchors a receipt to every request.

Model routing · 2026-07-01

LLM Router: How It Works and Top Alternatives

An LLM router sends each request to a model based on cost, latency, or capability. Compare approaches, then try one with a free API key.

LLM Gateway: Compare Options and Alternatives

Compare LLM gateway options: routing, cache, failover, receipts, and what NextModel actually does with OpenAI-compatible traffic.

Caching · 2026-07-01

Semantic Caching for LLM APIs: A Practical Guide

Semantic caching reuses stored LLM responses for prompts with similar meaning, not just identical text. Learn how it works, when to use it, and how to tune it.

Provenance · 2026-07-01

AI Provenance: What It Is and Why It Matters

AI provenance means knowing which model produced an output and proving it later. See what a receipt records and how NextModel supports ai provenance today.

GPT-6 Astra on a budget: cache, routing, and paying frontier rates only when it matters

Frontier pricing does not have to be your average price: $1 cache hits, sub-272K prompt discipline, and routing routine work to cheaper catalog legs keep Astra spend sane.
