EXPLORING THE CLAUDE MODEL FAMILY

Why Claude API

Integration concepts for the planned service; not live capabilities or performance guarantees.

Not just an API proxy — a control plane that makes your AI stack more reliable, transparent, and flexible.

1 line
to switch providers

Zero Lock-in

Keep your provider accounts and pricing. Switch models or providers by changing one string — no migration, no rewrite.

  • OpenAI SDK compatible — works with Cursor, Claude Code, any client
  • Bring your own API keys, keep your existing contracts
  • Add or drop a provider in seconds, not sprints
3 controls

Smart Routing

Automatic failover, provider health tracking, and approved cost-aware routing keep requests moving without hiding what the router did.

  • Automatic failover when a provider goes down
  • Approved model-basket optimization (Beta)
  • Measured routing evidence in request logs and analytics
100%
spend transparency

Full Visibility

See exactly where every token goes. Track usage by team, key, or model — and set limits before you get a surprise bill.

  • Real-time token & cost tracking per API key
  • Spending limits and budget alerts
  • Full audit trail for every request

Power OpenClaw Agents Across Every Channel

Integration concepts for the planned service; not live capabilities or performance guarantees.

Build reliable multi-channel AI bots with automatic failover, multimodal support (vision, audio, PDF), and Claude model families. Claude API adds health-aware routing, cost visibility, and enterprise security to your OpenClaw deployments.

Cut AI Spend With Guardrails

Integration concepts for the planned service; not live capabilities or performance guarantees.

Claude API helps you compare baseline cost vs selected route, shadow-test cheaper approved models, and prove savings in logs and analytics.

Beta

Approved Model Basket

Pick a baseline model, then approve cheaper alternatives for the same workload. Start in shadow mode, then opt into live cost routing only for that basket.

Baseline: Claude Sonnet 4.6 → Approved alt: Claude Haiku (illustrative)
GA

Prompt Caching

On models whose vendor publishes a cached input rate, cache hits are billed at that rate, not at the full input rate. This matters most for agents and workflows with a long, repeated system prompt.

Where a cached rate is published it is typically 4-10x below uncached input
GA

Measured Savings Evidence

Request logs and Activity show baseline charge, selected route, realized savings, and shadow-mode recommendations so teams can verify what changed.

Logs: baseline vs selected vs saved, per request
Illustrative example: support triage team
Before: every request stays on one premium baseline model
After: baseline stays protected, a cheaper approved model runs in shadow first, then goes live for eligible flows
Illustrative: 20-35% lower model spend

Illustrative example only. Actual savings depend on your approved model basket, traffic mix, and prompt shape.

Up and Running in Minutes

Change one line. Get access to Claude model families with built-in reliability.

Point Your SDK

Swap your base URL to Claude API. Works with any OpenAI-compatible client — Cursor, Claude Code, LangChain, your own app.

We Apply Your Policy

Claude API applies provider health, fallback rules, and your routing objective. If the first route fails, it moves to the next approved path automatically.

You Get Results

Same response format you already use. Plus usage tracking, cost visibility, and team controls — with zero extra code.

Common Questions

Learn how Claude API handles routing, billing visibility, BYOK, and tool compatibility.

Is Claude API just a model gateway?

Claude API is an independent Claude-focused preview. It is not affiliated with Anthropic or Claude API. Live routing and API access are not available yet.

Can we keep our existing provider accounts and contracts?

The guides explain bring-your-own-key concepts. Do not submit provider keys to this preview: no key storage or live provider connection is implemented.

Does it work with Cursor, Claude Code, and OpenAI-compatible SDKs?

The documentation covers Cursor, Claude Code, and OpenAI-compatible SDK patterns for Claude. Samples are illustrative and do not point to a live endpoint.

How does Claude API improve reliability?

Routing policies, fallbacks, and reliability are documentation topics for a future service, not operational guarantees for this preview.

What do teams get beyond a single API key?

You can explore Claude model information, integration guides, and a test subscription workflow. Eligible test subscribers can open a demonstration waiting screen; no API requests are processed.
