Switch from a Hosted Gateway to AI24X
Already running on a hosted gateway? Keep your application as it is: one OpenAI-compatible key, smart routing and transparent pricing from $0.35/M.
Why developers are looking around
One endpoint for every model is now the default way teams build with LLMs. Once usage scales, three things decide the bill: pricing transparency, how many vendors you depend on, and how much of your spend goes to the gateway layer rather than to the models themselves.
AI24X is an independent, OpenAI-compatible gateway: one key for GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen and GLM, with smart routing that balances price, speed and stability — starting at $0.35/M (flash).
Migration in 4 steps (≈10 minutes)
1) Create an account and a key
2) Point your client to AI24X
Everything that speaks the OpenAI protocol works — just change the base URL and the key. For example with the OpenAI SDK:
3) Map model names
4) Verify with one request
Expect HTTP 200 with an OpenAI-style response. 401 = wrong key · 402 = top up credits · 400 with model error = use a mapped model name.
What stays the same
- Protocol: POST /v1/chat/completions, Bearer auth, streaming supported (SSE + [DONE]).
- Your code: no SDK changes beyond base_url + key.
- Model choice: keep calling the models you already use.
What changes for the better
- Simpler pricing: flash from $0.35/M, pro tier for heavy reasoning, VIP picks for flagship Chinese models.
- Smart routing: AI24X balances price, speed and stability per request — one bill, not per-provider surprises.
- PayPal checkout: pay with PayPal, no credit card needed to start.
