One API key, 165+ image, video, audio and LLM models at up to 95% below official pricing
A single API key and base URL reach image, video, LLM and speech models from many vendors, so switching model families is a one-string change rather than a new integration.
Existing SDK code, agent frameworks and IDE assistants work by pointing base_url at the platform; chat completions and messages endpoints mirror the official shapes.
Credits are consumed only for requests that return a result. There is no monthly fee, no expiring minimum and no charge for failed generations.
Popular models run behind more than one upstream channel, and requests are retried on a backup route when the primary errors, rate-limits or times out.
Open infrastructure and one API for generative AI builders
Reach image, video, speech, music and text models through a single endpoint, so a project can mix modalities without stitching together multiple providers.
Many generations work straight from a URL in the browser, which makes it easy to prototype, embed in a webpage or drop into a script.
A web playground lets you test prompts and models interactively before wiring them into your application.
A gallery of apps built by the community shows what others have shipped on the API and gives builders starting points.
