title: "Strix Router"
description: "Access top LLMs through a single API with high rate limits and zero data retention"
---
Strix Router gives you access to the best LLMs through a single API key.
<Note>
Strix Router is currently in **beta**. It's completely optional — Strix works with any [LiteLLM-compatible provider](/llm-providers/overview) using your own API keys, or with [local models](/llm-providers/local). Strix Router is just the setup we test and optimize for.
</Note>
## Why Use Strix Router?
- **High rate limits** — No throttling during long-running scans
- **Zero data retention** — Routes to providers with zero data retention policies enabled
- **Failover & load balancing** — Automatic fallback across providers for reliability
- **Simple setup** — One API key, one environment variable, no provider accounts needed
- **No markup** — Same token pricing as the underlying providers, no extra fees
## Quick Start
1. Get your API key at [models.strix.ai](https://models.strix.ai)
2. Set your environment:
```bash
export LLM_API_KEY='your-strix-api-key'
export STRIX_LLM='strix/gpt-5'
```
3. Run a scan:
```bash
strix --target ./your-app
```
## Available Models
### Anthropic
| Model | ID |
|-------|-----|
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | `strix/claude-sonnet-4.6` |
| Claude Opus 4.6 | `strix/claude-opus-4.6` |
### OpenAI
| Model | ID |
|-------|-----|
| GPT-5.2 | `strix/gpt-5.2` |
| GPT-5.1 | `strix/gpt-5.1` |
| GPT-5 | `strix/gpt-5` |
### Google
| Model | ID |
|-------|-----|
| Gemini 3 Pro | `strix/gemini-3-pro-preview` |
| Gemini 3 Flash | `strix/gemini-3-flash-preview` |
### Other
| Model | ID |
|-------|-----|
| GLM-5 | `strix/glm-5` |
| GLM-4.7 | `strix/glm-4.7` |
## Configuration Reference
<ParamField path="LLM_API_KEY" type="string" required>
Your Strix API key from [models.strix.ai](https://models.strix.ai).
</ParamField>
<ParamField path="STRIX_LLM" type="string" required>
Model ID from the tables above. Must be prefixed with `strix/`.
