Built by a developer, for developers
LLMLite started as a personal frustration. Watching AI API bills grow while 60% of requests were simple questions that didn't need GPT-4o. So we built the fix.
Our Mission
Make AI affordable for every developer and company, regardless of size. The best model for every job — automatically.
How It Started
I was frustrated. Really frustrated. I spent 2 years building AI products, and I kept hitting the same wall: the pricing model didn't make sense. You're paying for premium models on every single request, even when 90% of them just need a quick lookup or a simple rewrite.
So one weekend, I started building LLMLite as a side project. The idea was dead simple: what if we could automatically route each prompt to the cheapest model that could handle it? We launched it to a few friends and early adopters, and they loved it.
Three months later, we're routing millions of requests and helping developers save 60% on their AI bills. It's wild. Every day we get messages from people who are actually surprised they can afford to ship AI products now.
We're just getting started.
Our Values
Transparency
Every response tells you which model ran and what it cost. No black boxes.
Simplicity
One URL change. That's the entire integration.
Fairness
You should pay for what you need, not a flat premium rate on every call.
