## Full description

Clients keep their existing setup: pointing ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL or the OpenAI base_url at api.zerouter.ai is the only change, and each request is checked for key, balance and concurrency before routing. The model named in the request is the model that answers, with no substitution or downgrade, and input, cache and output tokens are billed at the published per-token rate and written to a usage log. The catalog spans Anthropic Messages, OpenAI Responses and Chat Completions endpoints, including Alibaba Cloud-hosted Qwen, DeepSeek, GLM and Kimi models.
