Ramp has launched Router, an AI model routing service that allows users and companies to access and switch between multiple large language models through a single API.

Router provides a unified interface for LLM consumption, enabling developers to route requests across different AI models without rebuilding infrastructure for each one. The service addresses a growing need in the market as organizations evaluate multiple language models for different use cases and cost considerations. By offering model switching capabilities through one API, Router simplifies the process of testing and deploying various LLMs in production environments. The platform allows companies to optimize for factors like performance, cost, and latency by selecting the most suitable model for each task. Ramp, a corporate card and spend management platform, has gradually expanded into AI infrastructure tooling. Router joins a competitive landscape of model routing solutions as enterprises seek flexibility in their AI deployments and avoid vendor lock-in with single-model providers.
