How do I integrate?
Start free at https://app.o10.io/signup (no card), point your OpenAI-compatible client at https://app.o10.io/v1, set model to o10/auto, and paste your free route key as the API key. Start free — no card. Signing up creates an org and issues a free o10 route key. Free is bring-your-own provider keys (BYOK): you route on your own keys; o10 can run shadow receipts on live traffic. Paid plans add routed credits.
Can I pin a concrete model?
Concrete model slugs are also allowed. Pin with ! on a slug to skip routing. Or use model o10/pinned for an org-level saved model.

Core modes
Product-facing model IDs on app.o10.io. Deprecated aliases (o10/economy, o10/code, o10/auto-cheap, o10/auto-fast) are no longer featured.
| API model ID | One-line | Profile |
|---|---|---|
| o10/auto | Default — routes each prompt to the cheapest model that still clears the quality bar | balanced |
| o10/frontier | Value-first across frontier-class models — including open-weight (e.g. DeepSeek R1, GLM, Kimi) and proprietary (e.g. GPT-5.5, Claude Opus/Sonnet). Orgs can set a preferred frontier model in settings | quality |
| o10/squad | Multi-agent: planner → workers → judge. For hard multi-step work (typically 1–4 minutes) | squad |
| o10/pinned | Org-saved model override — always routes to the pinned model; if unavailable, falls back to auto with a visible notice | pinned |

FAQFrequently asked questions
Common questions
What is o10/auto?
Default — routes each prompt to the cheapest model that still clears the quality bar.
What is o10/frontier?
o10/frontier picks the best-value frontier-class model that clears your quality bar — including open-weight frontier models (e.g. DeepSeek R1, GLM, Kimi) alongside proprietary ones (e.g. GPT-5.5, Claude Opus/Sonnet). Orgs can set a preferred frontier model in settings. See /frontier.
What is o10/squad?
Multi-agent: planner → workers → judge. For hard multi-step work. Use model o10/squad. Typically 1–4 minutes — not chat-speed. See /squad.
What is o10/pinned?
o10/pinned always routes to the specific model your org saves in settings — an explicit override that skips auto-downgrade. If the pinned model is unavailable, o10 falls back to auto with a visible notice. Concrete slugs and ! pin syntax also still work per-request.
What are the o10/* modes?
Four modes. o10/auto — default: cheapest model that clears the quality bar. o10/frontier — value-first across frontier-class models (open-weight and proprietary); orgs can set a preferred frontier model. o10/squad — multi-agent planner → workers → judge for hard multi-step work (typically 1–4 minutes). o10/pinned — org-saved model override; if unavailable, falls back to auto with a visible notice. Base URL https://app.o10.io/v1. Concrete slugs and ! pin syntax also work per-request.
What is Free / BYOK?
Start free — no card. Signing up creates an org and issues a free o10 route key. Free is bring-your-own provider keys (BYOK): you route on your own keys; o10 can run shadow receipts on live traffic. Paid plans add routed credits.
Are o10/economy or o10/code still supported?
