Backboard.io, the AI routing platform designed to eliminate vendor lock-in, today announced the expansion of its network to 2,235 large language models (LLMs) with the integration of OpenRouter and Cerebras.
Backboard gives developers, enterprises, and AI teams a single integration point to access thousands of models. With native state management, AI memory, and optional retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), Backboard enables seamless switching between models while ensuring flexibility, resilience, and faster deployment of AI applications.
“Our mission is to ensure developers and enterprises are never tied to a single AI model or provider,” said Rob Imbeault, Founder of Backboard.io. “Adding OpenRouter and Cerebras brings even more choice and power to our users.”
Why this matters now
With OpenAI preparing to deprecate parts of its API, companies risk costly rebuilds and integration failures. Backboard acts as a future proof AI routing layer that gives developers confidence their systems will continue to work even as APIs, providers, and pricing structures change.
At the same time, Cerebras has raised billions of dollars to scale its AI infrastructure, making it one of the most exciting players in the space. Now Backboard users can plug into Cerebras directly alongside thousands of other models without lock-in.
The Backboard Alpha program is open now, giving developers early access to test drive the platform and shape the future of AI routing.
