[ dispatch ]
Dispatch, our real-time routing engine. Every provider competes, the cheapest wins.
Every request goes to the cheapest provider for that model. You pay below the source price. No platform fees, no top-up fees.
// what it does
Every request is a live competition.
01 / Quote
Every provider quotes
Each provider that serves the model you ask for quotes on your request. A quote that breaks one of your rules drops out.
02 / Win
The best quote serves it
The best quote for your mode wins. If that provider fails, times out or turns the request down, the next quote takes it before any token reaches you.
// privacy
Zero retention by default.
Nothing kept
By default a request goes only to providers whose published policy keeps no request data. Only routes that promise it can win.
Your rules, on top
Add no_ to rule out any provider that trains on requests, or region to keep processing in the US or the EU.
// why dispatch
Why it beats buying direct and other routers.
| Buying direct | Other routers | Dispatch | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you pay | One provider's list price | The source price, plus a fee to add funds | Below the source price. No platform fees, no top-up fees. |
| Who serves it | One provider, whatever its price today | A provider order you set or a default list | Every provider that serves the model quotes, and the best quote wins |
| If a provider fails | The error is yours to handle | Fallbacks, often set up by you | The next quote takes it before any token reaches you |
| Your data | Whatever that provider keeps | Zero retention as an opt-in | Zero retention by default |
| What it can cost | Known after the bill | A ceiling you can set | The worst case is held before the first token. You never pay more. |
| Proof | A monthly invoice | A usage log | A receipt on every answer |
| Your balance | Credit with one provider | Credit on one platform | USDF: redeemable 1:1, never expires, earns every hour |
