not-diamond

Not Diamond is an advanced AI routing platform that integrates multiple large language models into a meta-model, dynamically selecting the most suitable LLM based on input. It consistently invokes the highest-performing model across major benchmark tests, maximizing output quality while enabling flexible trade-offs between cost and latency through intelligent routing. Users can personalize routing via real-time feedback, train custom routers on their own datasets, and seamlessly integrate via Python, TypeScript, or REST API. Not Diamond operates as a recommendation engine rather than a proxy, allowing clients to initiate LLM requests directly, thereby enhancing data privacy and flexibility.
