# DragonLair.ai

> Route models. Power agents. Explain every decision.

DragonLair is an OpenAI-compatible AI inference control plane for governed multi-provider access, evidence-driven optimization, spend visibility, and explainable routing.

## Core capabilities
- OpenAI-compatible chat, models, and embeddings endpoints
- Documented OpenAI Responses, Anthropic Messages, and Gemini endpoints
- `model=auto`, fallback, cascade, and hedge routing where configured
- Selected-model and route-explanation headers
- Tenant-scoped BYOK credentials and eligible prepaid wallet access
- Usage, cost, activity, and audit views in the customer portal
- Budgets, virtual-model policies, and fail-closed guardrails before optimization
- An optimizer loop that observes, experiments, evaluates, and promotes or rolls back reviewed choices

## Good fit
- Teams that need multi-provider routing under cost, capability, and reliability constraints
- Platform teams that want centralized governance and explainable routing decisions
- Applications and agents that use OpenAI-compatible clients
- Organizations that want provider keys scoped to a tenant and project

## Consider another approach
- You need only a minimal single-provider proxy
- You require a fixed public price sheet rather than account-specific offers
- You need a general-purpose workflow runtime to replace your agent framework
- You require contractual certifications or service levels not included in your agreement
