About EastRouter

Headquartered in Hong Kong, EastRouter is building the AI gateway for China and Asia’s leading models.

AI is no longer a
single-provider market.

Why it matters

The best model for a coding task, workflow, customer support use case, or high-volume automation job may come from a different provider. At the same time, many of Asia’s strongest AI models remain difficult for global developers and enterprises to access, compare, and deploy.

EastRouter solves this by giving teams one simple API to access, test, and route across leading frontier AI models from China and Asia.

Why EastRouter exists

Our mission is to make Asia’s AI model ecosystem easier to use.

Connect once.

Instead of managing separate provider accounts, billing relationships, API formats, and technical integrations, teams can connect to EastRouter once and choose the right model for each task.

We work with the leading AI model providers, cloud partners, and ecosystem partners to simplify access to the region’s most important models. Our goal is to make EastRouter the default gateway for developers and enterprises building with Asian AI.

As model performance, pricing, and availability continue to change, companies need an AI stack that is flexible by default. EastRouter gives teams the infrastructure to compare models, control cost, reduce vendor lock-in, and build with the best AI models Asia has to offer.

What We Believe

Our convictions

01
Multi-model is the future
Companies should not be locked into one model provider.
02
Asia will be a major AI model hub
China and Asia are producing models that are increasingly competitive on cost, speed, coding, reasoning, and regional language performance.
03
Infrastructure should simplify choice
Developers should be able to compare, switch, and route models without rebuilding their applications.
04
Cost matters at scale
AI adoption will depend not only on model quality, but on whether companies can afford to run AI workflows at production volume.
05
Access should be programmable
Model access should be available through simple APIs, clear documentation, and reliable infrastructure.
