Sudo is a unified API for LLMs — the faster, cheaper way to route across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and more. One endpoint for lower latency, higher throughput, and lower costs than alternatives. Build smarter, scale faster, and do so with zero lock-in
I’m Ventali — I’ve been building in AI since before GPT-3, and one thing has always bugged me: the AI development stack is fragmented and clunky.
• Inference is expensive (and unpredictable).
• Managing context data and memories is complicated. • Billing end-users requires complex tracking
• There are very few ways to monetize
So we built Sudo:
⚡ One API to route across top models — faster routing, lower costs, zero lock-in 💽 Context management system (CMS) to turn AI apps into stateful, knowledgeable, memory-aware agents
💳 Real-time billing (usage, subscription, or hybrid) — we will charge your end-users for you
📈 Optional AI-native ads — contextual, policy-controlled, and personalized
The beta is live now with routing + dashboards. Context + billing + ads will be toggling on during the beta window.
✨ To thank early testers, we’re giving a 10% bonus credit purchased as well as $1 of free credits when you first sign up so you can test the API immediately.
Great to see API providers working on solving for time to first token as well
Congrats on the launch! 🎉
What drives me crazy is seeing developers struggle with the high costs of using multiple AI models. I've been there, and it's no fun. It feels like you're throwing money at different providers just to get the job done.
I think AI developers and businesses trying to scale their apps would totally love this. It’s so expensive to juggle a bunch of models. I wish there was a way to cut those costs, and it sounds like Sudo is just that.
I actually found 7 discussions where developers are talking about this exact frustration. It’s a big pain point.
Congrats on the launch, guys! Looks like a great tool and quality product.
As a builder in AI, I appreciate the vision beyond routing to incorporate CMS and monetization functionality. This has potential to become a vibrant dev platform in addition to being an optimized and convenient routing tool!
Looking to try it out over the next few days and weeks. Could you elaborate on the Ads feature set and how it works?
Sudo is the unified API for LLMs, route across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and more with one endpoint. Lower latency, higher throughput, and reduced costs. Build smarter, scale faster, and stay free from lock-in.
FINALLY someone has done a unified API that actually feels seamless, thank you!
That is smart! Routing across multiple LLMs with built-in context and billing could save teams a ton of engineering overhead.
Congrats on the beta launch — excited to see a unified API tackling routing, cost and context management.
Quick question: what's the latency improvement I can expect when switching from OpenRouter or a single-provider setup, and do you expose per-model routing logs for debugging? Also curious about pricing predictability once billing features go live — will there be rate caps or alerts for end-user charges?
One stop solution from end to end. save you from the busy work and focus on building.
this could’ve helped me a lot when i was building an llm app for long covid sufferers to manage their symptoms. I had to roll memory by myself, and never got around to billing or referrals (aka ads) because it was too much work for a side project even tho we had good usage. wish i was building an llm project now so i could use Sudo! great idea to all in one all the basic painful crap
Really interesting approach. I like that Sudo isn't just another router but is bundling in context + billing. Curious how smooth the developer experience feels in practice, will give it a try!!
Amazing. Would be cool if you could also handle auto retries / rerouting to a different model so that there's extra latency saved on my server waiting to receive an error and then sending a new request to your API, instead I would describe retry policy and you implement it on your side. I haven't seen any of existing API's doing this but it would help massively for lower latency applications
Awesome product to solve the tedious routing problem... just curious - how does it differ from openrouter etc? There are way too many model routers products in the market so far tbh
Congrats on the launch, Ventali! I’m curious about your context management system—could you share more details on how it actually works and how it handles memory or state for AI apps?
Great job girllll and the team!!! So happy to see another Ventali's creation 🥰 🥳, just can't wait to try it out!
Congratulations on the launch!! What an accomplishment.. I already have a few friends recommending me this product!! Really love how much faster routing will be.
I’ve had the chance to work with Ventali and the Sudo team — they’re incredibly competent at what they do.
At Macaron AI, billing and monetization are at the core of building sustainable consumer AI apps. We spend a lot of time thinking about this problem ourselves, and a product like Sudo (one API for all models, plus billing + monetization features) would be a huge unlock. We’ll definitely be trying it out.
Curious to hear from others here — how are you thinking about the monetization problem in AI apps?
