Hi, and welcome to the KuxAPI blog 👋 We're a small team with one slightly stubborn belief: using the world's best AI models should be simple, honest, and affordable — for everyone, not just the giants.
How it started
It began with a shared frustration. We were building products on top of large language models, and every provider wanted its own SDK, its own billing, its own rate limits and quirks. Half our time went into plumbing instead of building the thing we actually cared about.
One late night, over far too much coffee, someone half-joked: "What if there were just one key — and one API — for all of them?" Nobody laughed. We just started building. That question became KuxAPI.
What we're building
One API key. One familiar, OpenAI-compatible interface. And a model lineup that keeps growing — we're live today with models like DeepSeek and GLM, and we're wiring up more frontier providers as fast as we can.
- Official quality, zero markup — we connect straight to upstream, never water things down, and prices usually land below list.
- Switch models by changing one word in your request. No migration, no re-auth.
- Pay per use, in your local currency — no monthly minimums, no FX surprises.
- Works with the tools you already love — Claude Code, Cursor, and other popular IDEs.
Already using the OpenAI SDK? You're basically done — keep your code, just point the base URL at KuxAPI and pick a model that's live:
curl https://kuxapi.com/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $KUX_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "deepseek-v4-pro",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, KuxAPI!"}]
}'What we believe
Great tools should get out of your way. You bring the idea; we'll handle the plumbing.
