FAQ

How is this different from OpenAI’s library?

llmswap provides a unified interface across 8 providers, while OpenAI’s library only works with OpenAI. You can switch providers without changing your code.

Do I need API keys for all providers?

No! You only need one provider configured to start. llmswap auto-detects available providers and can fall back between them.

Is it free?

llmswap itself is free and open source. You pay only for the AI provider APIs you use, often at 90% less cost than subscriptions.

Can I use it offline?

Yes! Use Ollama to run models completely offline and privately on your own machine.

Is it production ready?

Absolutely. llmswap includes enterprise features like configuration management, cost tracking, error handling, and analytics.
