## Executive Summary

Continuum AI sells OrcaRouter, an OpenAI-compatible gateway that routes prompts across more than 200 models and adds guardrails and an agent firewall that screens the tool and MCP calls agents make. The routing is the part with real evidence behind it: it ships as open-source code, a published technical report describes the method, and it placed second on the public RouterArena leaderboard. The security controls that put it in the AI-defense category are newer, described mainly by the company, and made free only in June 2026. With no named customers, no disclosed funding, and a newly launched open-source edition, OrcaRouter is most credible today as a cost-cutting router and unproven as the security control plane it markets.
