Ordica is a small router. You point an OpenAI-shaped API at it, and it sends each request to a provider you choose — then tells you what the request cost, in dollars.
MIT-licensed. BYO-key first. The binary is the whole deployable.
Your code speaks POST /v1/chat/completions and that is the whole
contract. The request you send is forwarded byte-for-byte — the router never
re-encodes your body, so what the provider receives is exactly what you wrote.
An alias is one name for one model, served by an ordered ladder of providers.
chat-fast is minicpm-v today and something else
tomorrow, without your code changing.
Every request is written to a ledger with its real price — input, output, images, video seconds — so a run is a number you can act on rather than a usage total you have to interpret.
A per-key cap is enforced before the provider is called. A request that would overrun is refused up front, not billed and noticed later.
The headline figure is cache savings, and it is reported as two numbers — how many tokens came from the provider's prompt cache, and what that saved. The second figure is a real calculation against the model's own rate card, never a rounded guess.
A model whose price row declares no cached-input rate has no rate to compare
against. The console says not measurable for it, and names
which model, rather than printing $0.00 — a saving with no measured
rate is an invented number.
The router forwards what the provider said. If a host cannot load a model architecture, you see that error, verbatim — the router does not smooth it into a generic failure.
A video resolution a price row does not declare is refused, not priced at a neighbouring tier's rate. A rounded rate charges a job at a rate it did not run at.
Ordica is in active development. The router is live and taking requests; the admin console is next.
Point any OpenAI-shaped client at https://ordica.co/v1 with a
caller key. See GET /v1/models for the aliases this router serves.
