Why Geek Hub

If you already use OpenAI, Anthropic or Google directly, this page is for you. Honest comparison of what Geek Hub gives you that you don't get wiring each provider alone — and what it doesn't give you either.

Quick comparison

Need	Direct to provider	Geek Hub
Provider outage → your app dies too	Full downtime	Automatic fallback to the next model in your list
Mexican invoicing	N USD invoices, no CFDI	One MXN invoice + CFDI 4.0 stamped with SAT
Guardrails (PII, injection, ZDR)	Each API's own approach or none	One central guardrail per org or per API key
Budget per API key	Doesn't exist — everyone shares the same billing	USD limit per key with period (daily/weekly/monthly/lifetime)
Swap model by cost	Code change in production	Change the "model" string in the request
Verified Zero Data Retention (ZDR)	Depends on the contract you negotiate with each provider	Central list; 422 rejection if the target model isn't verified
Cost inline on every response	Tokens only; you compute cost	usage.cost_usd and usage.cost_mxn in the body
request.completed webhooks	OpenRouter yes; others no	Yes, HMAC SHA-256 signed
Prompt caching	Yes on Anthropic; partial on OpenAI	Auto-enabled on long system prompts (Anthropic 90% off, OpenAI 50% off)

When Geek Hub doesn't make sense

Being honest — these are not good fits:

You're on a single provider and don't care about lock-in.If your app only talks to OpenAI and you don't need fallback, direct is simpler. The +5% markup funds the overhead you're not managing.
Sub-100ms latency is critical.We're an extra hop (~10-30ms). Chatbots don't notice; trading systems will.
You don't invoice in Mexico and don't care about CFDI.The MXN local billing value fades if you operate USD-first with the provider.

Failover in one snippet

Configure an ordered list of models. The gateway tries the first; if it fails (5xx, rate limit, ZDR mismatch), it falls to the next without your code knowing.

// Anthropic down → try OpenAI
// OpenAI rate-limited → try Google
// Response.model tells you who responded
