What is Finest?
Finest API is a gateway service that automatically routes LLM requests to the cheapest model configuration that meets your quality requirements, reducing costs by up to 70% without sacrificing quality. Users integrate it with two lines of code change (baseURL and API key) using their existing OpenAI SDK, and the Request Compiler handles optimal model selection per-request.
