One API key for hundreds of AI models from every major provider
Six hundred plus models for text, image, video, audio, transcription, embeddings, and reranking behind one OpenAI-compatible API.
Requests are rerouted to another provider on outages or rate limits by default, so you don't write custom retry logic.
The auto-router selects a model and provider per request using live marketplace performance and pricing data.
Track spend, tokens, and usage per model, provider, and team member in one place, including bring-your-own-key usage.
Write code with precision, hand bigger jobs to agents, and keep working from anywhere
Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
