What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

One API

An open-source system for managing and redistributing API access across multiple large language model providers—including OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and others—through a single OpenAI-compatible API. Deploys as a self-contained binary or Docker container.

Independently observed

TensorZero

A unified operations platform for LLM applications that provides infrastructure for routing API calls, tracking performance metrics, running experiments, and optimizing model and prompt configurations. Built as self-hosted open-source software designed for production-scale deployments.
