# Ramp Router

> Ramp Router sends every AI request to the lowest-cost approved model that clears your quality bar. One endpoint, automatic routing, less spend.

Ramp Router is an LLM routing layer from Ramp. Point existing OpenAI-compatible SDKs and frameworks at one endpoint; Router picks the cheapest approved model that clears your quality bar, with automatic fallbacks when a provider fails.
