There is no standard usage API in the LLM world: OpenAI and Anthropic hide usage behind admin keys, and tools resort to scraping dashboards. Here's what our research found, and how GoModel's GET /v1/usage gives every caller their own usage, budget, and rate-limit status.
Once a router like GoModel handles model choice, how do you keep your agents getting better? A look at three approaches — Coolhand Labs, LangSmith, and Langfuse — and which one fits your team.
