CrabiX uses this pattern at localhost:3721/v1 so developers can connect many providers once and keep existing tools pointed at one URL.","modelDigest":"A local AI router is a machine-local gateway between AI tools and multiple providers. CrabiX exposes localhost:3721/v1 as an OpenAI-compatible endpoint and routes requests across configured providers, accounts, and local models using 13 routing strategies, including Smart, RoundRobin, Price, and Latency. It suits developers who hold several AI subscriptions, hit provider limits, or want one stable base URL across Cursor, VS Code, Continue, Claude Code, Codex, and scripts; CrabiX Launch starts 15 coding-tool integrations through the same gateway. CrabiX is local-first: keys and routing configuration stay on the user's machine, the gateway binds to 127.0.0.1, and there is no token markup — users pay providers directly.

In CrabiX, the client sends one request to localhost:3721/v1 while the router decides whether Claude, Codex, Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter, or another backend should answer.","modelDigest":"CrabiX provider routing sends each AI request from the OpenAI-compatible endpoint localhost:3721/v1 to the best eligible configured provider or local model. The 13 strategies are Smart, Weighted, P2C, LeastUsed, ContextRelay, ContextOptimized, LKGP, ResetAware, RoundRobin, Fastest, Price, Latency, and Off; the Free plan ($0) includes Smart and RoundRobin, and Pro ($19/month) unlocks all 13 plus combo models. Routing decisions can consider provider health, limits, latency, retries, provider accounts, model locks, and fallback chains. Combo models expose one client-facing model name backed by a provider sequence.

CrabiX does not add token markup; users pay their providers directly. The Free plan costs $0; Pro costs $19 per month and adds all 13 routing strategies, expanded MCP config/imports, Skills, plugins, background agents, and CrabiX Launch for 15 coding-tool integrations. The MCP runtime starts up to 16 live sessions per workspace scope. CrabiX can include OpenRouter as one provider in its routing pool. Choose OpenRouter for hosted marketplace convenience; choose CrabiX for local control, direct provider relationships, local model routing through Ollama or LM Studio, workspace features, and developer tool integration.","related":["https://crabix.ai/local-ai-router","https://crabix.ai/compare/litellm","https://crabix.ai/compare/ollama","https://crabix.ai/security-local-first","https://crabix.ai/pricing"],"lastUpdated":"2026-06-30"},{"title":"CrabiX vs Ollama: Local Models or Multi-Provider Routing?","shortTitle":"CrabiX vs Ollama","category":"Comparison","url":"https://crabix.ai/compare/ollama","markdown":"https://crabix.ai/compare/ollama.md","answer":"Use Ollama when you primarily need to run local open-source models. Use CrabiX when you need one control plane across local models, cloud subscriptions, OpenAI-compatible clients, provider fallback, dashboard, agents, MCP, Skills, and launch workflows. Ollama can be one provider inside CrabiX rather than an enemy.","modelDigest":"CrabiX and Ollama are complementary for many developers. Ollama is a local model runtime that downloads, runs, and serves open-source models. CrabiX is a local-first AI router and workspace, operated by VISIONER PTE. LTD. in Singapore, that can coordinate Ollama, LM Studio, cloud providers, user subscriptions, OpenAI-compatible APIs, dashboard status, agents, MCP, Skills, plugins, and tool launch workflows behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint at localhost:3721/v1. CrabiX offers 13 routing strategies with automatic fallback, a provider dashboard showing status and latency, and CrabiX Launch for 15 coding-tool integrations. CrabiX adds no markup on tokens; users pay providers directly. The Free plan costs $0 and covers core routing; Pro is $19 per month for all strategies, expanded MCP config/imports, Skills, and launch workflows. The MCP runtime starts up to 16 live sessions per workspace scope. Use Ollama alone for local model runtime. Use CrabiX when local models are one part of a broader multi-provider AI stack, with Ollama as one provider inside the pool.","related":["https://crabix.ai/local-ai-router","https://crabix.ai/provider-routing","https://crabix.ai/openai-compatible-localhost","https://crabix.ai/compare/openrouter","https://crabix.ai/compare/litellm"],"lastUpdated":"2026-06-30"}],"machineReadable":{"llmsTxt":"https://crabix.ai/llms.txt","llmsFullTxt":"https://crabix.ai/llms-full.txt","sitemap":"https://crabix.ai/sitemap.xml","agentFeed":"https://crabix.ai/agent-feed.json","releaseFeed":"https://crabix.ai/release-feed.json","releaseFeedWellKnown":"https://crabix.ai/.well-known/release-feed.json","securityTxt":"https://crabix.ai/.well-known/security.txt","securityPolicy":"https://crabix.ai/security"}}
