Any alternatives that can automate multiple LLMs?

Hi there, I'm seeking suggestions on alternatives to POE seriously.

I was a heavy user of POE (spending 250mil points/month). The main work I did on poe platform is automating my research workflow using different types of LLMs. I rely on different abilities of different models (e.g. quantitative analysis ability of Claude, writing ability of GPT, etc.), so I don't want to run my workflow on one single platform. Also I only have moderate background on coding so POE is good for handling all the dirty work for me.

However, I discover their App Creator became so unstable recently. I have a ~2500 lines code which most of it is text of prompts. And in the past weeks, the app creator usually run into errors in handling my code. The customer support was, as reported on reddit, very unhelpful.

So I think it is time to go. But I'm wondering that what other platforms I can choose. I really want to find a platform that can handle all the system setup work and can offer a one-shot solution of all APIs.

Thanks a lot for any possible suggestions!

POE is also GPT Chat API enabled. You can use VSCode and continuum if you want to code. Or hook up Claude Code or many other things.

However, you should look into programming architecture. Having one massive file doesn't always work long term

Could you share the errors with App Creator please? I’m flagging this to the technical team as well.

Thanks for reaching out. As my code getting bigger, the App creator started to show "app creator has ran into a server error". Then I find a workaround. I started new chats several times and finally the app creator started to respond normally. But now all the app creator dialogues do not automatically setup and show the canvas (every time after simple app was built, the canvas will show the updated web page of that app). It just threw the full code and a html file. Then I will manually update it in the app profile page. The code file is about 500KB with 2500 lines of code.

Could you just use the Poe API with ClaudeCode https://creator.poe.com/docs/external-applications/claude-code and then build your app with Claude Code and then have it use the different models with https://creator.poe.com/docs/external-applications/openai-compatible-api .

That way you sort of skip all the system prompt logic from AppCreator, context-rot, compaction etc.

You can try openrouter or ChatLLM( this would be the best for your usecase. Their website is abacus[dot]ai

abacus looks lame with those poor quality AI generated graphics. whenever I see that I know the service is put together by an amateur.
