# AIHubMix Router

Model id on AIHubMix: `aihubmix-router`
Create an API key: https://console.aihubmix.com/?utm_source=llms-agent&utm_medium=model-llms

> New model routing capability; request aihubmix-router to automatically route models based on question complexity, so everyone no longer needs to manually switch models; in our tests comparing the use of the model router versus only using GPT-4.1, we observed up to 60% cost savings while maintaining similar accuracy.  
The context length of the model router depends on the base model used for each prompt. Input size is 200,000, output size is 32,768.  
Currently, there are four routing models: gpt-4.1, gpt-4.1-mini, gpt-4.1-nano, o4-mini.  
Pricing: Due to our current billing structure system, requests through aihubmix-router are billed at the price of gpt-4.1-mini regardless of which final model is used; future billing will be based on the actual model invoked.  
Everyone is welcome to try it out; the interface will return the name of the actual called model.

> Capability flags (tool use, structured output, vision, reasoning, …) are **not published** for this model. AIHubMix lists them only after official confirmation and this id is not covered yet — their absence below means unverified, not unsupported. Everything else here comes from the live catalog. Verify with a minimal real call before relying on a capability (see https://aihubmix.com/agents.md — an HTTP 200 alone is not success).

- Developer: OpenAI
- Input modalities: text, image
- Pricing: $0.4/M input tokens, $1.6/M output tokens, $0.1/M cached input

## Endpoints (base URL: https://aihubmix.com)

- `POST /v1/chat/completions` — OpenAI Chat Completions (`Authorization: Bearer $AIHUBMIX_API_KEY`)

## Example

```bash
curl -s https://aihubmix.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIHUBMIX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"aihubmix-router","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
```

## Response

Without `stream`, `/v1/chat/completions` returns a standard Chat Completions object:

```json
{"id":"...","object":"chat.completion","model":"aihubmix-router","choices":[{"message":{"role":"assistant","content":"..."}}],"usage":{"prompt_tokens":12,"completion_tokens":24,"total_tokens":36}}
```

With `"stream": true` the response is `text/event-stream`: read each `data:` JSON chunk until `data: [DONE]`. The Messages and Gemini endpoints return their protocols' native response shapes (Anthropic / Google).

## Errors

Error responses carry a `tid` (trace id) — include it when contacting support. Reference: https://docs.aihubmix.com/en/FAQs/HTTP-Codes.md

- 400 — parameter error; most are passed through from the upstream provider (media: `prompt_missing`, `size_not_supported`, `n_not_within_range`, …)
- 401 — missing `Authorization` header, or the key is invalid/expired
- 403 — `insufficient_user_quota` (top up at https://console.aihubmix.com/?utm_source=llms-agent&utm_medium=model-llms), account suspended, or this key is not allowed to use this model
- 429 — rate limited; back off and retry
- 503 — no channel can serve the request (check the model id and your access), or the upstream provider is throttling; retry later

- Try in browser: https://playground.aihubmix.com/?model=aihubmix-router
- Compare with another model (human-facing, side-by-side specs and pricing): https://aihubmix.com/compare — pick this model and a peer there; published pairs are listed in https://aihubmix.com/sitemap-compare.xml, unpublished pairs 404 so do not compose the path by hand
- Full parameter schema: follow `https://aihubmix.com/model-data/index.json` — find this id and fetch its `path` (filenames are content-addressed; do not compose them by hand)
- Generate runnable code programmatically: npm `@aihubmix/codegen` — the generator behind the Playground's "Get Code" (4 protocols × 7 languages, media endpoints included); the body it builds is the exact wire body the Playground sends, so generated snippets and real requests cannot diverge. `@aihubmix/model-schema` (npm) translates the parameter schema above into codegen input
