Velokey

One API for Every Leading AI Model

Velokey is a unified AI API gateway that provides developers with seamless access to over 100 leading text, image, and video generation models through a single integration. Instead of managing multiple API keys, SDKs, and billing relationships across different AI providers, developers can access GPT, Claude, Gemini, Seedance, Kling, Veo, Wan, and dozens of other state-of-the-art models through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Built for Developers Who Need Flexibility

The platform solves a critical challenge in modern AI development: vendor lock-in and integration complexity. With Velokey, you can switch between models without rebuilding your integration—just change the model ID in your existing OpenAI-compatible SDK. This approach enables rapid experimentation, A/B testing across providers, and seamless model upgrades as new capabilities become available. The platform supports language models (GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.8, DeepSeek v4, Qwen, GLM), image generation (GPT Image 2, Nano Banana Pro, Seedream 5.0, Qwen Image 2.0), and video generation (Sora 2, Veo 3.1, Kling V3, Seedance 2.0, PixVerse V6).

Key Features & Capabilities

• OpenAI-Compatible API: Drop-in replacement requiring only a base URL change from existing OpenAI integrations
• Smart Model Routing: Automatic request routing to faster, more stable endpoints based on latency and availability
• Automatic Failover: When multiple routes exist, failed requests automatically move to healthy fallback providers
• Transparent Pricing: View exact per-token, per-image, and per-second costs before making calls; pay only for actual usage
• Unified Console: Track request status, token usage, latency, errors, and spending across all models in one dashboard
• Model Comparison Tools: Evaluate models by capability benchmarks (GPQA, SWE-bench, LMArena), context length, speed, and cost before committing
• Multi-Modal Support: Access text, image, and video models through the same account and billing system

Simple Migration & Transparent Operation

For teams already using OpenAI-compatible SDKs, migration takes minutes: create a Velokey API key, update your base URL to api.velokey.ai/v1, and select your preferred model. The platform provides $0.50 in free credits at signup (approximately 20 free AI images, never expires) and usage-based metering with no hidden fees. Velokey does not retain prompt or model-output content and does not use customer API data for training—only limited operational metadata is retained for billing, security, and support.

Reliability & Control

Velokey's infrastructure is designed for production workloads, with intelligent routing that optimizes for cost and latency while maintaining high availability. The platform continuously monitors upstream provider health and can automatically shift traffic when issues arise, reducing downtime and manual intervention. Developers gain full visibility into how requests are routed, what each call costs, and what happens when upstream routes become unavailable.
