Orq.ai
Amsterdam, Netherlands
What it is
Orq.ai is an AI gateway and platform for routing, governing, and monitoring requests to AI models and tools. It provides access to 500+ models from 30+ providers through an OpenAI-compatible API. Its Smart Router can select models using cost and quality strategies, with fallbacks, retries, and load balancing. Gateway controls include budgets, spend limits, guardrails, and PII redaction. Request traces, cost and token tracking, dashboards, and OpenTelemetry ingestion provide visibility into usage. Listed integrations include OpenAI and Anthropic APIs, Python and Node SDKs, remote MCP servers, Azure AI Foundry, Vertex AI, and compatible model endpoints. The gateway also lists support for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and 25+ agent frameworks. Deployment options include EU SaaS, VPC, and on-premises. Orq.ai says prompts, outputs, and traces are not used to train models, and lists EU data residency and retention controls. Pay-as-you-go is usage-based: model traffic is charged at provider rates, with 100,000 spans and 1 GB processed data per month included before extra usage charges. The company describes the platform for engineering and product teams building LLM applications.
