Quick start
Glideflow follows the OpenAI request shape for chat completions and model listing. Point your existing client at https://api.glideflowai.com/v1.
curl https://api.glideflowai.com/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk-xxx" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "deepseek-chat",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
}'from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
api_key="sk-xxx",
base_url="https://api.glideflowai.com/v1",
)
r = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek-chat",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
print(r.choices[0].message.content)import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: "sk-xxx",
baseURL: "https://api.glideflowai.com/v1",
});
const r = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "deepseek-chat",

Data & privacy
Glideflow is for developers who value cost and compatibility, and who can choose what data is appropriate for third-party model routing.
Requests are received by the Glideflow gateway, authenticated, metered, and forwarded to the selected upstream model provider.
Use it for prototypes, coding tools, side projects, and early products where practical cost matters more than enterprise procurement.
Do not send medical, financial, government, or other regulated enterprise data unless your own review approves the full provider chain.
FAQ
Glideflow routes OpenAI-compatible calls to efficient DeepSeek, Qwen, and GLM models, so you keep the familiar API shape while paying closer to open-model economics. See the pricing and comparison tables for current numbers.
Your request passes through our gateway and then to the upstream model provider you choose. That data flow is intentional and documented so you can decide what belongs here.
Payments are not live in this static site yet. The planned flow is card payment or redeemable credit codes, with no Chinese phone number, Alipay account, or local identity flow required.
Glideflow is narrower by design: a small set of high-value Chinese and open models, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, USD billing, and copy-paste setup for independent developers.
Any OpenAI-compatible client should work. The docs show curl, the official Python openai SDK, and the official Node openai SDK.
