THE PRODUCT / 002

Only the two lanes your team needs.

No model marketplace. No bundle maze. One endpoint for the engineering intelligence your team already uses.

01 / OPENAI

GPT

A general reasoning layer for product, data, and Agent teams. Responses, Chat Completions, and Codex workflows included.

WHY Teapot Router / 003

A better route for every request.

Availability, latency, and cost are decisions you can inspect and tune, whether you work alone or with a team.

01Availability

Keep a way through

Configure multiple upstream channels. When one fails, the gateway can retry an eligible route instead of stopping at the first error.

Configured routes → eligible retry

02Latency

Choose with response data

Inspect request duration and channel response times, then adjust route priority and weight. Route choice follows your configuration, not an unverified speed promise.

Response time → route priority

03Cost

Know what each call costs

See configured model rates alongside request level token use and charges. Check actual spending before changing models or budgets.

Model rates → usage record

THE TEA MENU / 004

Pricing is not a black box.

Compare the configured upstream reference price with Teapot Router's standard account price. The displayed discount follows the standard group ratio; usage records remain the source of truth.

THE SMALL PRINT / 007

The boundaries are written down.

What does the Teapot Router name mean?

It tips its hat to HTTP status 418 “I'm a teapot”, the beloved easter egg from a 1998 IETF April Fools' RFC. A teapot doesn't grow tea — it pours it, which is exactly how a model gateway should behave.

Is Teapot Router a model provider?

No. Teapot Router is a gateway for GPT and Claude Code. Available models and behavior depend on the configured upstream channels.

How are prices calculated?

The table estimates base rates from the current gateway configuration. Group rates, caching, and other usage details may change the final charge, which appears in your workspace.

Can we keep our existing SDKs?

Yes. Keep your existing engineering workflow and let Teapot Router handle the gateway connection.

How does billing work?

API usage is charged against an account balance. The workspace shows top-ups and request usage. Contact us to discuss company purchasing needs.

THE POT / WHY THIS NAME

Why a teapot?

The name comes from HTTP status 418 — “I'm a teapot”, an April Fools' RFC from 1998 that developers adopted as the internet's favourite easter egg. It lets us say three serious things:

The pot doesn't grow teaA teapot brews and serves; it never grows the leaves. Teapot Router doesn't train models either — it pours GPT and Claude Code, steadily, into your code.

Short and stoutThe RFC itself says the teapot's response body may be short and stout. Short means no ego; stout means no tipping over. That is a gateway's job description.

418 is our winkThe 418 reference is a story and a developer easter egg. Teapot Router keeps account and model API responses focused on their real contracts.
