ApiFlux
ApiFlux is an AI router that provides a unified API endpoint for interacting with over 100 large language models from various providers, including Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, and more. It abstracts the differences in API protocols by offering a single OpenAI-compatible interface, allowing developers to use any model without modifying their code. The service features transparent per-token pricing at 15% off the list prices of the model providers, with no subscription fees. Users top up their account and pay as they go. ApiFlux includes automatic failover, rerouting requests to healthy models if an upstream provider experiences issues, ensuring high availability. A live usage dashboard provides insights into token consumption, latency, costs, and errors for every request. ApiFlux is designed for AI coding tools like Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, and supports any OpenAI SDK by changing the base URL. It also supports streaming and function calling. The platform aims to simplify AI infrastructure for developers, reducing the overhead of managing multiple API keys and handling provider-specific integrations. It positions itself as a cost-effective and reliable gateway for accessing frontier models.
