Question 1

How is Zabio different from other AI routers?

Accepted Answer

It picks the model for you, to get you more right answers for less. Send auto and Zabio reads each request, picks the model and reasoning setting that fit the job, and shows why on every response, with what the call cost and what it saved. Pricing stays simple: the provider's list price, a small service fee on each call and a small fixed fee on each auto request. Zabio takes no cut of what routing saves, so every cent of the saving is yours.

Question 2

Can I switch models without losing the conversation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With the Responses API, Zabio stores the conversation and sends the full history to whichever model answers the next turn, on any vendor. When the history outgrows that model's context window, Zabio summarizes the oldest part and continues. With chat completions your app sends the history on every call, so any model gets the full context.

Question 3

Can I control what each person and each key spends?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Owners and admins set a monthly quota per member, and every API key can have its own monthly spend cap, request and token limits per minute, and a list of the models it may use. Calls stop with 429 quota_exceeded when a limit is reached.

Question 4

What is Smart Splitting?

Accepted Answer

Under auto, a request that carries a long document and asks about only part of it can be split: a cheap model copies out the lines the question needs, word for word, Jev checks that the extract holds everything the answer needs, and the model auto picked answers from that extract instead of the whole document. If the check fails, Zabio sends the full document and pays for the attempt itself, so a split never costs you more. In our tests it cut the cost of long-document questions by about a third on average, and by more than half on contracts, with every fact kept. It never applies to a model you name, every step shows in zabio.split, and zabio.split set to off turns it off for a request.

Question 5

Is Zabio free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every account starts on the Free plan: 100 requests a day, up to 16,000 tokens in and 2,000 out per request, on six models from OpenAI, Google, Mistral and Together AI, with auto choosing among them. No card, no expiry. Every other model stays visible, one top-up away, and a daily fair-use limit keeps Free sustainable. Your first top-up removes every limit. Calls on your own vendor keys pay no service fee.
