# Become a PiRouter Provider

> Plug your inference capacity into PiRouter’s routed traffic: real paying customers and routing that rewards performance.

If you run model inference — as an official vendor, cloud platform, or inference service — plug your capacity into PiRouter’s routed traffic: real paying customers, a fair routing mechanism, and performance that earns you more requests.

## Why join

### Real, paying traffic

Your capacity serves developers and teams with funded wallets. Metered per call, settled per cycle. We don’t trade free inference for exposure — every call pays.

### Routing that rewards performance

Multiple upstreams serve each model side by side. Health checks measure latency and availability in real time; the best line wins more traffic. Data decides, not deals.

### Zero rework

Bring an OpenAI-compatible endpoint and you’re in. Protocol translation, failover, and billing reconciliation happen on our side — you just keep inference running.

## Fair by mechanism

Traffic allocation ignores business relationships and follows line performance — a mechanism that fights for well-performing upstreams every day.

### Continuous health checks

Every upstream line is probed for latency, error rate, and availability — a live health picture, always current.

### Real-time best-pick

Each request picks the best upstream at that moment. Higher health scores win more traffic; degrading lines are weighted down automatically.

### Instant failover

A failing line is pulled within seconds and traffic shifts away, returning automatically on recovery. Your occasional incident never becomes your customer’s outage.

## What we look for

The best routing needs quality upstreams. Listing follows evaluation, which is also your guarantee of sharing the pool with quality peers.

## How onboarding works

1. **Introduce yourself** — Email us your models, endpoint shape (OpenAI-compatible or not), pricing, and SLA. We usually reply within three business days.
1. **Evaluation run** — We benchmark latency, quality, and stability against the incumbents — the data is the verdict.
1. **Join the pool** — Pass the evaluation and your line joins the routing pool, competing on health from day one.
