    "input": { "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a Python function to merge two sorted lists"}] },
    "task": "code",
    "optimization": "output-optimized"
  }'

Why GreatRouter for coding:

• Access every major coding model from a single endpoint
• Automatic routing selects the optimal model based on your prompt
• Explicit routing lets you filter by capabilities like coding and reasoning
• No vendor lock-in — switch or combine providers freely

Best for: AI-assisted development, code review automation, research and evaluation.

Creative Industries

One API for text, image, video, music, and audio. GreatRouter is one of the few platforms that can route a single prompt to the right model across every media type — automatically.

curl https://api.greatrouterai.com/v1/auto/route \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pk_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "A cinematic drone shot of a futuristic city at night",
    "input": { "prompt": "A cinematic drone shot of a futuristic city at night" },
    "task": "video",
    "optimization": "balanced"
  }'

curl https://api.greatrouterai.com/v1/auto/route \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pk_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "Upbeat electronic track with bass drops",
    "input": { "prompt": "Upbeat electronic track with bass drops", "tags": "electronic, upbeat" },
    "task": "music",
    "taxonomy": "music-generation"
  }'

Music models with routing.source: suno (for example suno/v4-5all-generate) call the Suno API asynchronously — generation may take 30–90 seconds.

Models available for creative work:

Why GreatRouter for creative industries:

• Multi-modal routing — one API handles image, video, music, and audio generation
• Automatic model selection based on your task description
• No need to manage separate accounts with multiple providers
• Pay-per-use pricing with no minimums — ideal for agencies and studios
• Built-in cost tracking so you know exactly what each project spends

Best for: Design studios, video production, music production, ad agencies, content creation platforms.
