Cortecs is an AI gateway from Vienna, Austria, that gives developers one OpenAI-compatible API for many language models. Each request is routed to a suitable cloud provider based on cost, speed or a balance of both, and the gateway can fall back to another model if the first one is unavailable. A project setting and a request parameter called eu_native restrict routing to providers established in the EU, and further options control zero data retention and the use of quantized models. Teams can manage API keys, budgets, usage reports and presets in a web console, and bring their own provider keys. Cortecs suits companies that want to use hosted models while keeping control over which providers process their data.

Melious is an AI gateway from Saarbrücken, Germany, that gives access to more than 60 open-weight models through one API compatible with the OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs. Requests are distributed across inference providers in eight European countries, and the gateway tries the next provider automatically if one fails. Users choose a routing flavor such as balanced, speed, price, eco or batch by adding a suffix to the model name. Besides text models, the service offers embeddings, image generation, speech models and a chat interface with tools like web search and code execution. Melious does not route to providers outside Europe, so there is no setting to enable for European-only routing.
