An OpenAI-compatible inference endpoint gated by your Layups account. Swap one base URL, keep your SDK, and reach a curated catalog of frontier models — no extra API keys to manage.
Base URL
https://ai.layups.ai/v1Use it anywhere an OpenAI-compatible base URL is accepted. Your Layups token is the API key.
What you get
01
The standard /v1 API shape. Point any OpenAI-compatible SDK or tool at the gateway and it works — chat completions, streaming, and the model catalog.
02
Your Layups credential is the API key. No separate key portal, no copied secrets — access follows your account.
03
A curated catalog across Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and more, behind one endpoint. List what's live with GET /v1/models.
04
Server-sent events stream token by token, exactly as the model produces them. Long generations are never cut short.
Quickstart
A chat completion is one HTTP call. Authenticate with your Layups token as the bearer, name a model from the catalog, and send messages. Add "stream": true to stream.
Terminal
curl https://ai.layups.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $LAYUPS_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
}'Python
Two constructor arguments are the whole integration: point base_url at the gateway and pass your Layups token as api_key. Everything else — streaming, tool calls, vision — is the SDK you already know.
Python
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://ai.layups.ai/v1",
api_key=LAYUPS_TOKEN,
)
completion = client.chat.completions.create(
model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)JavaScript
The official openai package, or any library with a configurable base URL, connects the same way. Model ids use the provider/model form.
JavaScript
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
baseURL: "https://ai.layups.ai/v1",
apiKey: process.env.LAYUPS_TOKEN,
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});Model catalog
The catalog endpoint is the source of truth for the curated list. What it returns is exactly what the gateway will serve — no guessing which ids work.
Terminal
curl https://ai.layups.ai/v1/models \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $LAYUPS_TOKEN"Safe by design
Every request is authenticated against Layups before it touches a model. There is no standalone key to leak or rotate — when someone leaves your organization, their gateway access goes with them.
Questions
A Layups access token — the credential your account gets from Sign in with Layups. Pass it as the bearer token wherever an SDK asks for an API key.
The catalog is curated and grows over time. Call GET /v1/models with your token for the live list — what it returns is exactly what you can use.
Yes. Set stream: true and responses arrive as server-sent events, token by token, through any OpenAI-compatible SDK.
No. The gateway speaks plain HTTP — curl works. Any library that supports a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL works too.
The AI Gateway comes with a Layups organization. We’ll get your team signed in and calling models in minutes.
