List prices for the current Claude models, how cache reads and cache writes change the real bill, the Fable 5.1 parameters that return 400,
Exact base-URL settings for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, Roo Code and LM Studio, why two different conventions exist, and how to tell
A gateway puts several model providers behind one endpoint and one bill. Here is what that buys you, what it costs you, and the cases where
An OpenAI-compatible API accepts the same request shape as OpenAI's, so the official SDKs work unchanged. Here is exactly what carries over,
A practical migration guide: the two lines that change, the model-string mapping, what OpenRouter does that APICLAN does not, and how to run
If you are wiring up a coding agent right now, go straight to base URL setup — it has the exact setting for each client and the one mistake that produces an error you cannot find in any log.
If you are evaluating whether to use a relay at all, what an LLM gateway is lays out what it buys you and what it costs you, including the cases where calling the provider directly is the better engineering decision.
If you are trying to understand a bill that came in higher than expected, Claude API pricing in 2026 covers cache reads versus cache writes, which explains more Claude invoices than the headline per-token rate does.
There are no capability comparisons here and no benchmark tables. We have no evaluation data of our own, and repeating someone else's would not predict how a model behaves on your task. Where a decision depends on model quality, the honest answer is to run two candidates on twenty real inputs from your own product and read the outputs. That takes an afternoon and settles it better than any page we could write.
You will also not find uptime figures, concurrency limits or customer counts, for the same reason: we would not be able to back them up.
