Irona AI provides an API‑compatible LLM routing platform that automatically selects the optimal model from a catalog of 70+ providers based on real‑time cost, latency, and performance criteria. The service includes built‑in failover, usage analytics, prompt adaptation, and can be deployed in private VPCs with privacy‑preserving hashing for enterprise workloads.

Problem
Developers and enterprises must manually choose among dozens of large language models, each with different cost, latency, and capability profiles. This selection process is time‑consuming, error‑prone, and often leads to sub‑optimal performance or inflated expenses.
Solution
Irona AI offers an intelligent LLM routing platform that automatically selects the most suitable model for each request based on real‑time performance, price, latency, and user‑specific feedback. The service aggregates over 70 frontier models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, and others, exposing them through a single, OpenAI‑compatible API. A data‑driven routing engine, trained on millions of inference points, predicts the optimal model to maximize accuracy while minimizing cost. Built‑in fallback mechanisms keep applications online during provider outages, and comprehensive monitoring dashboards provide latency, usage, and cost analytics. The platform also adapts prompts automatically for each model, reducing the need for manual prompt engineering. Enterprise customers can deploy the router within a private VPC and enable privacy‑preserving hashing for sensitive data.
Target Audience
The primary customers are software developers and product teams building AI‑enabled applications, as well as enterprises that require scalable, cost‑effective production access to multiple LLMs.
