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.
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?
@ventali Just 14 days ago, I was working with a SaaS and faced a problem that they have to buy different API for different LLMs services. That was cutting their money. I was think, hush!!!! if there is an app or service that can provide a single API to access any LLMs and today I see this. That is brilliant idea to help new SaaS builders to use LLMs's API with a low cost. I don't how you came up with this idea? What is the story behind this?
This could save hours of infra headaches. What’s the latency like when routing across multiple models?
Love the one endpoint for all LLMs idea — super practical. Wishing you a successful launch! Curious: do you plan to expand support to open-source models too?
I've been following this project for a while, and the vision is exciting! Congrats to the team for shipping!
Congrats on the launch! 🚀 Developer stacks for AI are getting more complex, and Sudo AI is tackling real pain points. How does Sudo’s unified API optimize routing across providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini, and what are the efficiency gains for latency, cost, or throughput? Can you share how the Context Management System enables stateful, memory-aware agents, and how real-time billing or AI-native ad monetization options work for app builders?

We’d love your feedback:
• What feels clunky?
• What’s missing for your use case?
• What would make Sudo a true drop-in for you?
