Groq alternative

Fast inference only counts when request 41 still goes through.

Groq earned its reputation. LPU hardware delivers excellent single-request tokens per second on the models it serves, and TrustedRouter does not claim to beat that head-to-head. The pain shows up in production: per-minute and per-day request quotas, and a small catalog. Agent loops multiply requests. A ten-step agent run is forty-plus API calls, and a daily quota can end it mid-task.

TrustedRouter is an OpenAI-compatible API over 220+ model routes across 30+ providers. The trustedrouter/fast meta-route sends each request to the fastest measured provider for that model, and gpt-oss-120b runs on a Cerebras-served fast route. When a provider goes down, requests roll over automatically. The latency numbers behind those routing decisions come from real routed requests, published for anyone to check. Migration is one line: change base_url, keep your SDK, model ids, and code.

Speed

Fast routes, measured

trustedrouter/fast picks the fastest measured route for each model. The gpt-oss-120b route is served on Cerebras hardware. Every number on the latency benchmarks page comes from real routed requests.

Headroom

Built for agent loops

One agent task can mean dozens of calls. TrustedRouter spreads traffic across 30+ providers and rolls a request over automatically when a provider is down, so the loop keeps running instead of stopping at a quota wall.

With Confidential privacy (provider.min_privacy "confidential"), prompts never reach the model vendor: a Confidential request routes only to third-party confidential-compute hosts, and fails rather than fall back to the vendor's own API.

PrivacyProvider privacy policyHardware-attested TEE gateway; attestation checkable live

Verifiable privacy

Attestation beats a privacy policy.

Speed gets you to production. Privacy keeps you there. Every TrustedRouter prompt runs through a hardware-attested confidential-compute gateway: the source is open, the image digest is published, and the attestation is checkable live, bound to your TLS session so it cannot be replayed. TrustedRouter never logs prompt or output content. Ordinary synchronous and streaming inference does not retain it. The opt-in Batch API temporarily retains enclave-encrypted artifacts for up to 30 days.

Pick a privacy tier per route: Open, Zero-Data-Retention, or TEE, where even the serving provider cannot read the prompt. Details at /security. Or skip the reading and try a fast route in the playground.

Live catalog evidence

Current routes, prices, privacy, and measured performance.

Catalog facts come from the routes currently configured in TrustedRouter. Performance uses the same cached metadata snapshot as the public leaderboard. Prompts and outputs are not part of these measurements.

Questions

Is TrustedRouter as fast as Groq?

For a single request on a model Groq serves, Groq's LPU hardware is very fast. TrustedRouter's claim is about production: the trustedrouter/fast meta-route sends each request to the fastest measured provider for that model, gpt-oss-120b runs on a Cerebras-served fast route, and the latency numbers are published from real routed requests. When a provider goes down, requests roll over automatically.

How do I migrate from Groq to TrustedRouter?

Change the base URL. TrustedRouter exposes an OpenAI-compatible API, so you keep your SDK, your model ids, and your code. Point your client at the TrustedRouter endpoint, create a key, and send the same requests. Pricing is a thin markup over provider list prices, with per-model rates listed on the pricing page. You can pay with prepaid credits, bring your own provider key, or pay per request with crypto.

What happens when a provider hits a rate limit or goes down?

TrustedRouter routes across more than 30 providers and rolls a request over to another provider automatically when one is down. That matters most for agentic workloads: a ten-step agent run is forty or more API calls, so a single provider's quota can end the run mid-task. Spreading those calls across a large provider pool, with automatic fallback, is how the loop keeps running.

Which models does TrustedRouter serve?

TrustedRouter has 220+ model routes across 30+ providers: Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek V4 Pro and Flash, Kimi K2.7, GLM-5.2, Qwen 3.5, MiniMax M3, Llama, Mistral, and Nemotron 3 Ultra, plus meta-routes that pick the best, cheapest, or fastest route per request. With Confidential privacy (provider.min_privacy "confidential"), prompts never reach the model vendor: a Confidential request routes only to third-party confidential-compute hosts, and fails rather than fall back to the vendor's own API.
