Keeps going after a 429
When a provider key reaches its limit, TEKIZ.AI can try another working route so each app does not need its own recovery logic.
Reliability
Check live server health, automatic fallback, API-key balancing, and media support without exposing prompts, credentials, or customer data.
When a provider key reaches its limit, TEKIZ.AI can try another working route so each app does not need its own recovery logic.
Add multiple API keys or authorized subscriptions for the same provider. TEKIZ.AI can spread requests across them and try another one after a retryable failure.
Image, audio, video, and document requests only go to models that can handle them.
Check which server is active, how many servers are healthy, which errors can be retried, and whether usage limits are enabled. Private server addresses and customer data stay hidden.

If you want a concrete TEKIZ.AI proof path before wiring it into an agent, I’d test three things: 1. 429/provider failure behavior through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint. 2. Multiple authorized provider keys or subscription paths behind one provider profile. 3. Multimodal routing constraints so image/audio/video/document input only reaches capable models.

It does not grant access to providers without permission or ask people to share provider credentials publicly.
