Description
Inside my school and program, I teach you my system to become an AI engineer or freelancer. Life-time access, personal help by me and I will show you exactly how I went from below average student to making $250/hr. Join the High Earner AI Career Program here 👉 https://www.nicolai-nielsen.com/aicareer (PRICES WILL INCREASE SOON) You will also get access to all the technical courses inside the program, also the ones I plan to make in the future! Check out the technical courses below 👇 _____________________________________________________________ Auriko is a routing layer that puts one API in front of every major LLM provider and sends each request to the lowest effective cost. In this video I run it live, calling GPT, Claude, and Gemini through one API, with the real per provider pricing. I show the one line drop in, the cache aware routing layer, and budget controls for daily, weekly, or monthly spend. Then a real use case: a support ticket triage system that returns structured JSON and comes out about 3x cheaper on the same workload.

What you'll learn
- Auriko is a routing layer that puts one API in front of every major LLM provider and automatically sends requests to the lowest cost option.
- You can call GPT, Claude, and Gemini through a single API with real per-provider pricing and real-time cost optimization.
- Cache-aware routing and budget controls for daily, weekly, or monthly spend help you manage LLM costs more effectively.
- A practical use case demonstrates that a support ticket triage system becomes approximately 3x cheaper with Auriko on the same workload.
