pordl 🚪

Drop-in OpenAI replacement that routes to the cheapest model. Change one line, save 50%.

PORDL is a smart LLM proxy. Send your requests to PORDL instead of OpenAI, and it automatically classifies complexity and routes to the cheapest model that can handle the job — GPT-4o-mini for simple tasks, GPT-4o for medium, GPT-5.4 for complex.

Same OpenAI SDK. Same API. Lower bill.

Install

npm install pordl

Quick Start

// Before (OpenAI direct)
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({ apiKey: "sk-..." });

// After (PORDL — one line change)
import Pordl from "pordl";
const client = new Pordl({ apiKey: "pd_live_..." });

// Everything else stays the same
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "auto",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "What is 2+2?" }],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

Python

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="pd_live_...",
    base_url="https://api.pordl.dev/v1"
)

How It Works

Every request is classified by complexity before it hits a model:

| Complexity | Routed To | Example | |------------|-------------|----------------------------------| | Simple | GPT-4o-mini | "What is the capital of France?" | | Medium | GPT-4o | "Write a SQL query that..." | | Complex | GPT-5.4 | "Design a distributed system..." |

You pay PORDL's rate, which is lower than calling expensive models for every request.

Response Headers

Every response includes routing metadata:

• x-pordl-model — which model handled the request
• x-pordl-complexity — how the request was classified
• x-pordl-cost — what the call cost
• x-pordl-savings — how much you saved vs. calling GPT-5.4 directly
