# Prism > Prism is a self-hosted adaptive AI gateway. Connect supported AI providers once; Prism gives your applications one API, selects a suitable route, switches around unavailable or exhausted accounts, and keeps cost, access and diagnostics in one place. - Self-hosted: you run the gateway on your own Linux or macOS machine and control its configuration and operational data. - One OpenAI-compatible API: /v1/chat/completions, /v1/responses, /v1/embeddings, /v1/rerank, /v1/models. - Name a model, or leave the choice to a selector: auto, fast, smart, cheap, local. - Connect provider API keys, and connect subscription accounts through OAuth sign-in. - Prism Personal is free. Provider usage and infrastructure may still cost money. Prism Enterprise is not available yet. Every page has a Markdown copy at the same address plus `index.html.md`.
