Experiential Labs

Experiential Labs is an open-source AI gateway (written in Rust) that exposes every model through a single API endpoint, letting teams route requests to hosted providers, self-hosted GPUs, or private fine-tuned models while enforcing keys, caps, and observability.

Experiential Labs

Experiential Labs is an open-source AI gateway that provides a single API endpoint (api.experientiallabs.ai/v1) to access models from hosted providers, your own API keys, or self-hosted GPUs. It includes an intelligence layer that observes traffic to recommend model switches, enable per-prompt optimization, and apply caching and fine-tuning workflows to reduce cost and improve performance. The product targets teams and organizations that want unified access, cost control, and observability for AI usage across agents, people, and models, and can be run as a self-hosted gateway or used via the hosted offering.

Key Features

Single unified API endpoint

Expose every model behind one endpoint (api.experientiallabs.ai/v1) so agents and code can use the same interface for hosted, self-hosted, and fine-tuned models.

Intelligence layer with model routing

A traffic-aware intelligence layer that watches requests, recommends model switches, and offers turnkey per-prompt optimization and routing features.

Caching and cost-saving hooks

Caching that increases hit rates and offers discounts on repeated tokens (repeated tokens come back at 90% off when you turn it on) to lower inference costs.

Fine-tuning on your traffic

Support for owning and deploying fine-tuned models trained on your workflow and validated in simulation before serving, reachable through the same endpoint.

Key management and spend controls

Key-level caps by day/week/month, roles, model allowlists, and local-only scopes so admins can enforce spend and access policies.

Observability and billing by agent/person/model

Console and dashboards that show catalog, usage, limits, request logs, and spend broken down by agent, person, model, or day.

Self-host or hosted gateway

The gateway is open source and can be self-hosted (Rust implementation) or used as a hosted service; the site states hosted inference and Pro are revenue sources.

Multi-provider & local inference support

Works with many model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral, Qwen, etc.) and local inference providers or your own GPUs (listed providers include Bedrock, Azure AI, Vertex, OpenRouter, and more).

Pricing

Free Tier Available

The gateway itself is free and open source (self-hostable).

Gateway (self-hosted)

Free (open source)
  • Open-source gateway implementation
  • Run behind your infrastructure with your provider costs

Hosted inference / Pro

Pay the provider's price; Experiential Labs states 0% markup on routed tokens but earns on hosted inference and Pro
  • Hosted inference option
  • Pro features (commercial offering referenced)

Use Cases

Unified model access for engineering teams

Provide every team and agent a single API key and endpoint to access multiple models and providers without changing client code.

Cost control and billing

Enforce caps per key, view spend by agent or person, and route traffic to cheaper or self-hosted models to control and forecast AI spend.

Model experimentation and optimization

Automatically monitor traffic and recommend model switches, run per-prompt optimization, and evaluate new or fine-tuned models the day they ship.

Deploy private fine-tuned models

Train and validate models on your own traffic and expose them through the same endpoint to replace expensive frontier models with cheaper, faster owned models.

Integrations

OpenAI

Route requests to OpenAI-hosted models (examples in logs: gpt-5.6, gpt-5.6-sol).

Anthropic

Route to Anthropic models (examples: fable-5, haiku-4.5).

Google (Gemini)

Supports Google Gemini models (gemini-3.7-flash shown).

Local GPUs / self-hosting

Use your own GPUs or local inference providers behind the same endpoint (entries show 'your gpus' and 'local').

Cloud & inference providers

Listed providers include Bedrock, Azure AI, Vertex, Modal, OpenRouter, Tencent Cloud, and others.

Benefits

Simplifies integration by exposing every model through one endpoint and one auth key.
Reduces costs via routing, caching (90% off repeated tokens), and the ability to route to self-hosted models at provider price.
Provides enterprise controls and observability (caps, roles, usage dashboards, and per-agent/person billing).

Limitations

No verified limitations are available.

Frequently Asked Questions

No verified FAQs are available.

Getting Started

  1. 1 Step 1: Get an API key (Get API key) or self-host the open-source gateway.
  2. 2 Step 2: Point agents and code to the gateway endpoint (api.experientiallabs.ai/v1) and use the same model parameter as before.
  3. 3 Step 3: Configure keys, caps, roles, and model allowlists via the console; monitor usage and set up routing/caching or fine-tuning as needed.
