Last updated May 22nd 2026
OpenAI-compatible API gateway for 200+ models from 30+ providers. One integration gives you smart routing, persistent memory, web search, context compression, and input security. All features activate per request by adding a single parameter. No new SDKs, no infrastructure changes.

Sansa releases OpenClaw installer for the open source AI agent framework: https://github.com/sansa-ai/openclaw-installer
Sansa adds Text and Audio processing to their OpenAI compatible API in March 2026.
Sansa is launching Memory, Input Guard (input security), Context Compression, AI Web Search, and Smart Routing as gateway features in 2026.
Sansa is a unified LLM gateway. One API, one key, one base URL. OpenAI-compatible. 200+ models from 30+ providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, and more). The gateway automatically routes between providers for uptime. What you get depends on what you pass in the request:
- Any model by name: pass claude-3.5-sonnet, gpt-4o, gemini-2.5-pro, or any of the 200+ supported models. The gateway handles provider-level failover automatically. - Smart Model Routing: pass sansa-auto as the model and a routing model trained on 20+ Billion tokens selects the best model for the prompt. Better than frontier quality at roughly half the cost. - Memory: add a memory parameter and the model remembers users across sessions. No vector database or retrieval pipeline required. - AI Web Search: append :search to the model name and the model gets grounded with live web results and inline citations. - Context Compression: add a compression parameter to strip low-value tokens from long inputs. ~40% faster latency, ~30% fewer input tokens. - Input Guard: add input_guard to detect PII and prompt injections before they reach the model.
The Sansa gateway is OpenAI-compatible. Change the base URL and API key and existing OpenAI SDK code works immediately. Pass the model you want, or pass sansa-auto to let the routing model choose. Add parameters to the request body to turn on memory, search, compression, or input guard. Everything is one API call.
- 200+ models supported - 30+ inference providers with automatic failover - 99.9% uptime - 20+ Billion training tokens for the smart routing model - 10-15ms latency added by smart routing (sansa-auto) - ~40% token savings with context compression - 98% accuracy for input guard detection - Sub-50ms latency for memory and search - $5 per million tokens with smart routing vs $10-25 for frontier models
Compatible with OpenAI SDK (three line code change) and the Sansa SDK. No new SDKs, middleware, or infrastructure changes required. Every feature is opt-in per request.
Free community benchmarking tool. Tests individual models from various providers on real-world tasks. Does not test the sansa-auto endpoint. Results published at trysansa.com/benchmark
