Product and integration overview. The public inference service, customer login and payments are not active. The local backend is a development environment.
One Swiss gateway
The planned default is one API key and automatic routing: an AlpenRoute gateway in Switzerland would apply checks and masking before selecting an approved provider. Inference may take place abroad. A Swiss gateway alone does not establish compliance with Swiss data protection law.
API integration
The planned API follows OpenAI Chat Completions. Configure the base URL, API key and model. Compatibility, streaming and tools must be tested for each provider. The public endpoint below is not active. Never put a secret API key in browser code.
POST https://api.alpenroute.ch/v1/chat/completions
Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>
Content-Type: application/jsonRouting rules
Qualify providers before comparing prices: contracts, processing countries, model version, capabilities, availability and cost limits. Compare estimated purchase costs for the same workload; this is not a guarantee of the lowest price on the entire market. The customer tariff is fixed at admission. Lower supplier costs are passed on through a new published tariff. Swiss-only requests must never fall back to foreign processing. Mandatory TEE requires a verified attestation bound to the model and channel; a model name ending in “-tee” is not proof.
Privacy and confidential inference
Masking can miss personal data and does not necessarily make data anonymous. Reversible pseudonymisation, foreign transfers and professional secrecy need their own assessment. Technical logs and enclave attestations are not legal compliance certificates. Prompts must not be recorded in access logs or analytics.
Prices and comparisons
Proposed B2B prices in CHF, excluding VAT. Catalogue observed on 2026-10-16; ECB exchange rate dated 2026-10-15: 0.830211 CHF/USD. Displayed prices include the AlpenRoute service margin. The versioned customer tariff is the source for the comparison. Comparisons use 75% input and 25% output, without caching. Discounts are rounded down to whole points; increases are rounded up. Missing comparable references produce no discount. Execution conditions may differ.
Prepaid credits
The intended service uses a CHF balance without a mandatory subscription. The current account demo only simulates top-ups, keys and usage. No money is collected. Payment methods, fees, VAT, expiry and refunds must be specified before a real purchase.
Integration status
The multilingual frontend is published. A local backend starter implements hashed API keys, persistent test credits and usage accounting with a local test model. It is not connected to this public demo. Swiss VPS deployment, real inference, customer authentication and payment collection still require integration and acceptance testing.
Legal information
The operator’s identity and contact details are available in the Legal notice.
