FAQ from MakeHub
What is MakeHub?
MakeHub is an intelligent, adaptive API load balancer purpose-built for generative AI. It acts as a smart gateway — routing every LLM request to the optimal provider in real time based on dynamic metrics like cost-per-token, latency, reliability, and regional capacity. Designed for developers building scalable AI agents and applications, it delivers seamless interoperability, automatic failover, and continuous performance optimization — all through a single, OpenAI-standardized interface.
How does MakeHub deliver intelligent cost savings?
MakeHub continuously monitors pricing APIs, tokenization efficiency, and regional billing tiers across 33+ providers. Its routing engine selects the lowest-cost *performant* option for each request — factoring in both raw price and effective throughput. Customers consistently achieve 30–50% cost reduction by avoiding overpriced endpoints and leveraging open-model alternatives when quality thresholds are met.
Can MakeHub improve response consistency and speed?
Absolutely. By aggregating real-time latency telemetry across global edge locations and provider regions, MakeHub routes requests away from congested or degraded endpoints — often cutting p95 latency in half. Combined with built-in connection pooling, streaming optimizations, and predictive warm-up, it enables dramatically smoother, faster, and more deterministic AI interactions.
Which models and providers are supported out-of-the-box?
MakeHub supports 40+ SOTA models across 33 providers — including GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini 2.0 Flash, Mixtral 8x22B, Llama 3.1 405B, Command R+, and Qwen3 — with new integrations added weekly. Both proprietary and open-weight models are treated equally, enabling hybrid strategies that balance capability, compliance, and cost.
Is MakeHub suitable for production-grade AI agents and enterprise workloads?
Yes — engineered from day one for mission-critical use. Features include SOC 2-compliant infrastructure, enterprise SSO (SAML/OIDC), audit logging, fine-grained API keys with scoped permissions, custom SLA dashboards, and dedicated support tiers. Thousands of production agents — from autonomous devops bots to customer-facing copilots — rely on MakeHub for resilient, auditable, and budget-controlled LLM access.
