Openference provides a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint and API key for a curated catalog of open-source LLMs from GLM, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, MiniMax, and other labs. Developers can connect existing tools and SDKs without managing separate provider accounts. The gateway handles routing, automatic failover, and format conversion between OpenAI-, Anthropic-, and Gemini-style APIs, while offering real-time usage tracking and unified, plan-based billing. New users can try the service through a three-day free trial with no credit card required; paid subscriptions include bundled requests, with on-demand usage available after the included allowance.
