OpenRouter alternative for teams that need guided provisioning

OpenRouter popularized multi-model access through one API. PEKPIK LLM targets a similar developer need but emphasizes sales-assisted access, published catalogue pricing, high-throughput routing and support for teams that want a managed gateway rather than a self-serve marketplace only.
