Your key. Your audit. Your bill.
Register your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or Groq key with POST /v1/llm/keys, and every LLM call OriginChainDB makes runs on that key. Token usage lands on your provider's invoice at your own rate — there is no LLM line on your OriginChainDB bill.
At scale, the LLM bill dwarfs the database bill.
A RAG product doing 1M /ask calls per month
at $0.01 each runs $10,000 on someone's books. On a platform that marks up LLM tokens, that
platform pockets a multiple of the actual provider cost. With BYOK, that $10,000 lands on your
provider's invoice at your enterprise rate.
You also see every prompt, every completion, every token in your provider's dashboard. No intermediary, no batch reporting delay, no "trust us" line item.

Fast inference for cost-sensitive workloads.
Your key is never stored in plaintext anywhere on our infrastructure.
Each tenant's keys are scoped and unreadable from other tenants.
Provider, model, prompt tokens, completion tokens, timestamp — visible in /usage.
For custom provider endpoints: hostname checks + private-IP block.
Pin a fallback. Transparent retry on error or timeout.
Configure a fallback provider per tenant. If your primary provider returns an error, rate-limits you, or times out, the next request retries on the fallback. Audit captures which provider actually answered.
