Downlink

The turbo button for AI

Visit Downlink

Downlink is a platform that routes and optimizes AI model requests through a single API, addressing rate limits, latency, cost, and model selection for AI applications. It is designed to simplify architecture by reducing technical debt and maintenance burden while keeping requests flowing through one endpoint.

The platform works with existing OpenAI-compatible clients across Python, TypeScript, Go, and Curl, using a base URL swap. Downlink selects models suited to a given use case and fine-tunes them accordingly. It includes a Playground, API Docs, Team, and Pricing sections, with access requested through the platform.

Downlink is aimed at AI engineers managing latency and shipping AI applications. Access is requested rather than self-served, and the platform offers Team-oriented packaging alongside a Playground and API documentation.
