Why use GenCMS instead of direct provider APIs?

  • Automatic routing — one /api/v1/chat/completions endpoint; set model: "auto" and we pick a capable model for your prompt.
  • Cost optimization — usage is metered on our stack; responses include a gencms object with cost, latency, and savings vs a premium baseline so savings stay visible.
  • Fallback — if a provider errors, configured fallbacks can take over without changing your client code.
  • Analytics — per-key usage, dashboard analytics, and model telemetry (compare, leaderboard) are built in — not bolted on.
