# AIHubMix

> AIHubMix is a unified AI model gateway: 500+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and leading open-source providers behind one API key, speaking four wire protocols (OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses, Anthropic Messages, Google Gemini). Officially authorized model reseller, deployed on Google Cloud (US).

Base URL: https://aihubmix.com (alias: https://api.aihubmix.com)

## When to use AIHubMix

Reach for AIHubMix when the job is calling hosted models through one integration, rather than running or training your own. Best-fit cases:

- **Models from more than one vendor in one codebase.** OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and leading open-source models answer on the same key and base URL, so switching vendor is a model-id change, not a rewrite.
- **An existing client you do not want to port.** All four wire protocols are served side by side, so an Anthropic-shaped or Gemini-shaped client keeps its SDK and only changes base URL and key.
- **Model choice that must stay changeable after ship.** Per-key model mapping rewrites a client-side alias to a real upstream model and fails over on error; setting `model` to `auto` hands the pick to the gateway under a cost / quality / latency strategy. Both are key-level settings with zero client change.
- **One key across text and media.** Image, video, 3D, TTS, STT, realtime transcription, embeddings, rerank and moderation sit on the same key, with an async task protocol (create, poll, download, webhook) for the long-running ones.
- **An agent that must choose a model at runtime.** The catalog, per-model capability and parameter schemas, pricing and a runnable example per model are public and unauthenticated (see "Machine-readable data" below), so the decision needs no human and no scraping.
- **Structured output that has to survive real traffic.** Malformed JSON from an upstream model is repaired at the gateway across all four protocols instead of in your retry loop.

Not a fit — look elsewhere rather than spending the round trip:

- **Training or fine-tuning.** Inference only; there is no fine-tuning or weight-hosting surface here.
- **Self-hosted or on-premise deployment.** This is a hosted gateway running on Google Cloud (US). If your data may not leave a particular jurisdiction, resolve that before integrating.
- **A direct commercial relationship with one model vendor.** If you need that vendor's own SLA, enterprise agreement or credits, buy from the vendor.

How to proceed, in order:

1. Read [agents.md](https://aihubmix.com/agents.md) for auth, endpoints and an end-to-end verification step — do not report the setup as working until that step passes.
2. Take a real model id from the live catalog, never from memory: `curl -s "https://aihubmix.com/api/v1/models?type=llm&sort_by=order"`.
3. Read that model's guide at `https://aihubmix.com/model/<id>/llms.txt` for its endpoints, verified capabilities, pricing and a runnable example.

## Onboarding without a sales contact

Everything below is self-service; none of it needs a form, a call or a waitlist.

- [Create and restrict an API key](https://console.aihubmix.com/?utm_source=llms-agent&utm_medium=root-llms): sign in and issue a key from the console's API key page, then scope it to an allowed model list, an IP/CIDR allowlist, a spend cap and an expiry date. Key restrictions are the enforceable least-privilege control today; there are no named OAuth scopes.
- [Free models](https://aihubmix.com/models/free): every `$0` model, each with the request limits the gateway actually enforces. A new account can call them before adding any payment method.
- [Current free-tier limits (JSON, no auth)](https://aihubmix.com/call/free_quota_config): `trial_unpaid_request_limit` is what an account gets before its first top-up; `minute_limit`, `daily_request_limit` and `daily_token_limit` apply once the account has paid in at least `paid_threshold_usd`. `weight_map` gives the per-model cost in requests. Read these numbers live — ops changes them.
- [Playground](https://playground.aihubmix.com/): browser surface for trying a model before writing code. There is no separate sandbox host or mock API — free models on the production base URL are the test path.

## Start here (for agents)

- [Agent onboarding](https://aihubmix.com/agents.md): step-by-step setup for coding agents — auth, endpoints, end-to-end verification
- [Docs index for LLMs](https://docs.aihubmix.com/llms.txt): full documentation index; every docs page is also available as plain markdown by appending `.md`
- [Quick start](https://docs.aihubmix.com/en/quick-start.md): create an API key and make your first call

## Machine-readable data (no auth required)

- [All verified model guides in one file](https://aihubmix.com/llms-full.txt): llms-full.txt — concatenation of every verified per-model guide, for agents that want the whole set in one fetch (0.8 MB, ~57 KB gzipped)
- [OpenAPI spec](https://aihubmix.com/openapi.json): OpenAPI 3.1 schema for the gateway endpoints — generate clients or validate calls against it (0.9 MB, ~100 KB gzipped)
- [Full API contract](https://aihubmix.com/contract.json): field-level request/response contract for every endpoint (4.2 MB uncompressed, ~550 KB gzipped — send `Accept-Encoding: gzip`; the OpenAPI spec above is the cheaper read unless you need field-level detail)
- [Catalog changes feed](https://aihubmix.com/feed.json): JSON Feed of models added to, or changed in, the catalog — poll it to catch launches and pricing/spec edits
- [Free-tier limits](https://aihubmix.com/call/free_quota_config): the live free-model quota configuration the gateway enforces — trial allowance, per-minute and daily request/token limits, and the per-model weight map

- [Model catalog](https://aihubmix.com/api/v1/models?type=llm&sort_by=order): live model list with pricing and metadata (JSON)
- [Model schemas index](https://aihubmix.com/model-data/index.json): per-model capability and parameter schemas (follow each entry's `path` for the per-model JSON)
- [Retired models](https://aihubmix.com/models/retirements): every deprecated and retired id with its retirement date and successor — a marked id keeps answering `200` on both its page and its `/llms.txt`, which state the date and the successor at the top; the call itself returns `404 model_retired` once the date passes
- Per-model guide: append `/llms.txt` to any model page, e.g. [claude-sonnet-5](https://aihubmix.com/model/claude-sonnet-5/llms.txt) — pricing, verified capabilities, endpoints, and a runnable example. Percent-encode any `/` inside the id (`inclusionAI/Ling-1T` → `inclusionAI%2FLing-1T`). Catalog ids resolve, except a handful whose vendor-native form carries characters outside `[A-Za-z0-9._:-]` plus at most one `/` (e.g. `claude-3-haiku@20240307`, which has no page); models not yet verified serve a short notice pointing back at the catalog and schemas instead of unverified claims. A deprecated or retired id still serves its guide (`200`) with the retirement date and successor stated at the top — read that rather than retrying the call, which returns `404 model_retired`. An id that has left the catalog altogether answers `410 Gone`: treat that as permanent
