Universal AI Provider is an enterprise-grade multi-instance provider for the Drupal AI ecosystem. It allows you to seamlessly mix local LLM engines (llama.cpp, Ollama, vLLM) and commercial cloud APIs (OpenRouter, Groq, Fireworks, Hugging Face, xAI/Grok, amazee.ai, LiteLLM) under a unified configuration framework.
It brings cost-aware model routing, claim-level fact-checking, AI & plagiarism detection, and EU AI Act (Art. 50) compliance tools directly into Drupal without requiring core patches.
Key Features
- Multi-Server & Multi-Key Architecture: Run multiple local and cloud server instances concurrently. Each server entity manages its own API keys, timeouts, model filters, and daily budget/rate limits.
- Models as Configuration: Discovered models are stored as exportable
ai_universal_modelentities. Configure cost rates, quality tiers, context limits, sampling parameters, and capability tags per model. - Standard-Compliant Naming: Uses dot-separated entity IDs (
server.model) for 100% compatibility with Drupal AI core andai_searchout of the box. - Extensible Plugin API: Build custom backends using
AiServerBackendplugins without modifying the multi-server UI or routing engine.

Submodules
- Smart Router (
ai_universal_router): Defines virtualAuto: ...models that route requests dynamically to the cheapest capable model, featuring automated failover on rate/budget limits. Smart routing compares real cost, including time-of-day pricing — a DeepSeek model can win a route during off-peak hours and lose it at peak, automatically. - Fact Check, Plagiarism & Content Review (
ai_universal_factcheck): Conducts claim verification against local indexed corpus or web evidence, AI writing detection, verbatim plagiarism search, scheduled node scans, and coverage report flags for bias detection. - Content Governance (
ai_universal_governance): Assists with EU AI Act (Art. 50) obligations by attaching guardrails, generating AI provenance metadata, and adding machine/human-readable content disclosures.
ECA & Automation Integration
All submodules integrate with the ECA (Event-Condition-Action) ecosystem out of the box:
- Trigger automated workflows when a fact-check scan flags unverified claims.
- Block or flag publishing workflows if plagiarism or AI-content thresholds are exceeded.
- Attach provenance and disclosure metadata automatically upon node save.
Requirements & Compatibility
- Drupal: ^11.1 || ^12
- PHP: ^8.3
- Drupal AI Core: ^1.3
- Patches Required: None
