OpenAI
GPT, Codex-style workflows, OpenAI SDK and Responses API compatibility baseline.
Global aggregator
OpenRouter
International model gateway with strong model discovery, public model pages, and OpenAI-compatible APIs.
Official API Baseline
Start here for production, sensitive code and compliance-heavy workflows. Third-party relays should be compared against these official routes, not treated as the default.
Anthropic
Claude Code, Claude API and Anthropic-compatible behavior baseline.
Google AI Studio
Gemini API, multimodal model access and Google-native developer workflows.
DeepSeek
DeepSeek API, low-cost reasoning/code models and official OpenAI-compatible reference.
Source Note
OpenRouter is currently classified as Global aggregator. This page starts from official APIs as the safety baseline, then organizes visible public information such as official links, docs, pricing, models and tool compatibility. Appearing here is not endorsement.
Suitable for
- Benchmarking model availability, pricing, and a global API gateway baseline.
- Users who need OpenAI-compatible endpoints, SDKs or LiteLLM workflows.
Not suitable for
- Not suitable for sensitive code or production traffic before logging, refund and support rules are confirmed.
- Not ideal as the default choice for native Claude Code workflows.

Check Signals
- Strong model and pricing transparency.
- Useful neutral reference when comparing local relay prices.
- Broad ecosystem awareness among developers.
Risk Notes
- May not satisfy users looking for direct Claude Code native Anthropic endpoints.
- International billing and access constraints can vary by user.
- No dedicated public status page was confirmed in the browser audit.
- Check whether the official site, docs, pricing page, model list, terms and privacy policy are public.
- Run the public source checker when a provider is missing docs, pricing, models, privacy, terms, status or support fields.
- Confirm Codex CLI, Claude Code, Cursor or Cline setup paths from official provider documentation.
- Check public billing rules, failed-request charges, refunds and support channels.
- Read privacy and log-retention policies; use official APIs or self-hosted gateways for sensitive code.
Provider information changes. Before topping up, using production workloads or sending sensitive code, verify the official docs, privacy, logging, refund and billing policies.
