Drop-in. Every SDK you already use.

OpenAI-style endpoints (with streaming) for every provider and modality. Anthropic-style endpoints for all LLMs. And Token Station translates more than the wire format — tool/function names and voice names are mapped too — so the same model works in Claude Code, Codex, LangChain, or LlamaIndex.

Look closely: the OpenAI SDK below calls anthropic/claude-opus-4-8, and the Anthropic SDK calls openai/gpt-5.5. Any model, any SDK — pick whichever shape your tool expects.

openai_style.py — Codex / LangChain
# OpenAI SDK, pointed at Token Station
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
  api_key="gw_1234...abcd",
  base_url="https://models.bytefuture.ai/v1",
)

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="anthropic/claude-opus-4-8",
  messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "..."}],
  stream=True,
)
for chunk in stream: print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content)
anthropic_style.py — Claude Code
# Anthropic SDK — base_url omits /v1 (SDK adds it)
from anthropic import Anthropic
client = Anthropic(
  api_key="gw_1234...abcd",
  base_url="https://models.bytefuture.ai",
)

resp = client.messages.create( # → POST /v1/messages
  model="openai/gpt-5.5",  # route any LLM via Claude-style API
  max_tokens=1024,
  messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "..."}],
)
print(resp.content[0].text)

More than API translation.

Beyond the wire

Most gateways stop at the wire format. Token Station also translates the details that usually break cross-model use — so a model built for one harness or workflow drops straight into another.

🛠️

Tools come along

Tool and function names are mapped to the names your harness expects — so models that aren't natively supported just work. Grok Build runs inside Claude Code and Codex through Token Station.

🎙️

Voice actor names are mapped

Request a TTS voice by name and Token Station resolves it to the matching voice actor on whatever speech model serves the call — no per-provider voice tables to maintain.

🎬

Async media in sync workflows

Long-running image and video generation is bridged to the synchronous OpenAI- and Anthropic-style request/response your code already uses — so async backends like the Seedance video API drop into sync pipelines.

250+ models across 25+ providers.

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Seedance 2.0, ElevenLabs, Groq, Mistral, AWS Bedrock, NVIDIA NIM, and more — free models included at no cost. Browse the full catalog by provider, modality, context window, and price signal.

One account. Every provider. One invoice.

🗂️

One account per provider

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Runway, ElevenLabs, Kling — each with their own signup, verification, quota, and invoice.

→ Token Station: one account, one invoice.

🔑

Keys and tokens everywhere

Every provider has its own API key format, rotation policy, and auth header. Getting them into every service's secret store becomes a job.

→ Token Station: one key, every model.

🧾

Billing spread across a dozen vendors

Chasing receipts, reconciling prepaid credits, and explaining to finance why you're paying ten AI vendors instead of one.

→ Token Station: no subscription — pay-as-you-go passthrough.

How It Works

Point, call, ship — across every model.

01

Point your app at Token Station

Swap one base URL. Your existing OpenAI or Anthropic SDK code works unchanged.

02

Call any model, any modality

Text, vision, voice, embeddings, image, or video — same client, same auth, OpenAI-style or Anthropic-style API.

03

Define routing on your terms

Cost, latency, quality, reliability, provider preference, fallback — your rules, not a black box.

One API layer for every AI model you ship.

🔌

Unified API Compatibility

OpenAI-style APIs across all providers and modalities, with streaming. Anthropic-style APIs for every LLM. Drop-in for Codex, Claude Code, LangChain, LlamaIndex.

Broad Model Coverage

LLMs for chat, reasoning, agents, and coding. VLMs for multimodal. Embeddings, ASR, TTS, image, and video — all through the same client.

🧾

One Account, One Bill

No more juggling separate provider billing portals, prepaid credits, and expiration dates. No subscription — one balance, one passthrough line item.

🎯

Smart Routing Saves Cost

Route cheapest-first above a quality floor. Avoid expensive models when a cheaper one meets your bar. Cost savings compound across every call.

🔁

Failover & Fallback

When a provider goes down, requests re-route to your chosen backup model automatically. Your users never see the outage.

🔒

No Subscription, No Markup

Free to register — no credit card. Paid tokens bill at the provider's published rate with no percentage cut, and free models (like NVIDIA NIM) cost nothing.

🧭

Smart Routing — Cost Savings on Every Call

User-defined

Send each call to the cheapest model that clears your quality bar. Write rules per workload — cheapest-first with a quality floor, latency-capped with a provider allowlist, or strict fallback chains. Your priorities, explicit, versioned, editable without redeploying. Grounded in three years of peer-reviewed ICLR research on LLM routing — up to 73% token-cost reduction demonstrated in published benchmarks.

Build faster, manage less, route smarter. One API layer for text, vision, voice, image, and video — with routing rules you control.

The science behind cutting cost without losing quality.

Smart routing isn't marketing — it's three years of peer-reviewed results at ICLR, the top machine-learning conference. Each paper below measured how far you can push a cheap model before quality drops, and where a strong model is actually worth the spend.

ICLR 2025

RouteLLM: Learning to Route LLMs with Preference Data

Ong, Almahairi, Wu et al. — UC Berkeley / Anyscale

  • Up to 3.66× cost savings vs. GPT-4 at 95% of GPT-4 quality on MT Bench.
  • ~50% fewer GPT-4 calls with the same quality as random routing.
  • Router adds <0.4% overhead on top of generation.

ICLR 2024

Hybrid LLM: Cost-Efficient and Quality-Aware Query Routing

Ding, Mallick, Wang et al. — UBC / Microsoft

  • Up to 40% fewer calls to the large cloud LLM with no quality drop.
  • BERT-style router sends only hard queries upstream.
  • Quality/cost tradeoff tunable at runtime — no retraining.

ICLR 2026

Universal Model Routing for Efficient LLM Inference (UniRoute)

Jitkrittum, Narasimhan, Rawat et al. — Google

  • Dynamically routes to previously unseen LLMs without retraining.
  • Validated across 30+ unseen models on public benchmarks.
  • Theoretical excess-risk bound for the routing rule.

Token Station lets you apply these techniques to your own workloads. Define the cheap-vs-strong tradeoff explicitly — cheapest-first with a quality floor, model-ensemble fallback, or allow/deny lists — and update rules without redeploying.

Free to register. Pay only for what you use.

No credit card, no subscription. Start with $10 in credit, run free models for free, and pay provider rates — with zero markup — only on the paid models you actually call.

Coming from a credit-markup gateway like OpenRouter? There's no subscription and no percentage top-up fee here — register free, get $10 in credit, and pay provider rates only on paid models.

Common questions

Is it really compatible with my existing OpenAI-style app? +

Yes. Swap the base URL to https://models.bytefuture.ai/v1 and your OpenAI SDK works across every provider and modality — streaming, tool use, multi-turn included. LangChain, LlamaIndex, and anything expecting OpenAI works unchanged.

Can I use the same models in Claude Code and Codex? +

Yes — same host, different SDK conventions. For the OpenAI SDK, set base_url="https://models.bytefuture.ai/v1" and the SDK hits /v1/chat/completions, /v1/responses, plus the multimedia paths. For the Anthropic SDK, set base_url="https://models.bytefuture.ai" (no /v1 — the SDK adds it) and it calls /v1/messages. One key, both tools, same models. And because Token Station translates tool/function names and voice names — not just the API shape — even non-native models like Grok Build work inside Claude Code and Codex.

Which modalities are supported? +

Seven: LLMs, VLMs, embeddings, ASR (speech → text), TTS (text → speech), image generation, and video generation. All through the same client and the same key. New providers and models are added based on demand.

What does routing control actually look like? +

You define rules per workload. Examples: "cheapest model meeting a quality floor," "latency under 400ms with GPU provider allowlist," "Claude Opus with GPT-4o fallback, then Gemini Pro." Rules are explicit, editable, and versioned — no black-box routing.

How is pricing different from other gateways? +

There's no subscription and no token markup. Registration is free — no credit card — and $10 in credit lands in your balance the moment you sign up. Free models (like NVIDIA NIM) cost nothing; paid models pass through at the provider's published rate. Percentage gateways silently scale their take with your bill — we don't.

We only need LLMs right now. Is this overkill? +

Start with LLMs — then add vision, voice, image, or video without changing your gateway. The same account, key, and API shape keep working as your product grows into new modalities.

Is my request content stored? +

Routing metadata (model selection, token counts, latency) passes through our system. Request content is forwarded directly to providers — we don't log or store prompt content. Enterprise plans support VPC deployment for full data isolation.

Build faster. Manage less.
Route smarter.
