Performance strategies

Least-latency and lowest-cost routing strategies based on provider performance and pricing metadata.

Least latency

Routes to the provider with the lowest observed latency. Gateway tracks rolling latency statistics for each provider and sends new requests to the fastest one.

Best for: Latency-sensitive applications or multi-region provider setups.

Lowest cost

Routes to the cheapest provider for the requested capability. Gateway uses model pricing metadata to automatically select the lowest-cost option.

Best for: Budget-focused workloads where multiple providers offer equivalent models at different prices.

Least Latency and Lowest Cost strategies are configured through the dashboard. The API currently supports Priority (type: "fallback") and Intelligent (type: "intelligent") strategies.
