A single-key API gateway that the vendor states fronts 130+ AI models from providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Meta, Mistral, DeepSeek, Alibaba, Moonshot, ByteDance, Black Forest Labs, ElevenLabs, Kuaishou, MiniMax, Ideogram, Recraft and Stability AI, exposed in one OpenAI-compatible format across text, image, video and audio. Billed on usage rather than subscription or seat fees, with the page stating "$1 buys $1 of credits". The page describes agent-native features - a hosted MCP server, agent self-registration, and autonomous USDC funding over x402 - and names built-in guardrails on by default: PII detection, prompt-injection blocking, per-key rate limits and model allowlists, alongside organizations and roles, per-member spend caps and per-member model access. Release stage is not stated on the page checked.
