Inference Router Overview | You.com

What Is the Inference Router?

The Inference Router serves language models from one base URL, https://api.you.com, with one You.com API key. It exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint at /v1/chat/completions and an Anthropic-compatible endpoint at /v1/messages, so existing OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs work by changing the base URL and key. The Quickstart sends a first request.

Declare a web_search or web_extract tool and the router runs You.com searches and page fetches for the model, then returns the answer with the sources it used. See Web Tools.
