OpenAI-Compatible API

⚠️ BETA: GMTech's API is currently in beta testing. We welcome your feedback!

GMTech provides a fully OpenAI-compatible API as a drop-in replacement for OpenAI's API, with access to 15+ AI providers.

Why GMTech?

• Single API, Multiple Providers - Access OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and more
• No Vendor Lock-in - Switch models without changing code
• Transparent Pricing - Real-time cost tracking with no markup
• OpenAI Compatible - Use existing OpenAI SDK code unchanged

Quick Start

1. Install OpenAI SDK

pip install openai

2. Replace Base URL

from openai import OpenAI

# Instead of OpenAI...
# client = OpenAI(api_key="sk-...")

# Use GMTech
client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://app.gmtech.com/v1",
    api_key="gmtech_your_api_key"
)

# Everything else works the same!

Chat Completions

Basic Chat

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "What is Python?"}
    ]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Parameters

Cost in Response

Every chat completion and image generation response includes a gmtech.cost_usd field with the exact USD amount charged for that request:

{
  "id": "chatcmpl-123",
  "choices": [...],
  "usage": { "prompt_tokens": 120, "completion_tokens": 80, "total_tokens": 200 },
  "gmtech": { "cost_usd": 0.000312 }
}

For image generation:

{
  "created": 1677652288,
  "data": [{ "url": "https://..." }],
  "gmtech": { "cost_usd": 0.04 }
}

Use Any Model

# OpenAI
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)

# Anthropic Claude
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-46",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)

# Google Gemini
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="google-gemini-25-pro",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)

Image Generation

response = client.images.generate(
    model="gpt-image-2",  # DALL-E 3
    prompt="A futuristic city with flying cars",
    size="1024x1024"
)

print(response.data[0].url)

Sentiment Analysis

Analyze the emotional tone of any text block. Returns 10 sentiment dimensions scored 0–100, powered by gpt-4o-mini structured outputs.

import requests, os

response = requests.post(
    "https://app.gmtech.com/v1/sentiment",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['GMTECH_API_KEY']}"},
    json={"text": "I'm really excited about this new product launch!"}
)

print(response.json()["sentiment"])
# {'Positive': 82, 'Negative': 5, 'Neutral': 13, 'Joyful': 74, 'Angry': 2, ...}

Parameters

Response

Returns a sentiment object with 10 dimensions — each an integer 0–100:

Positive, Negative, Neutral, Joyful, Angry, Sad, Surprised, Confident, Anxious, Confused

Compare: Chat Completions

Run the same prompt against multiple LLM models in a single call. Returns one choice per model. Optionally saves the result as a shareable snapshot.

import requests, os

response = requests.post(
    "https://app.gmtech.com/v1/compare/completions",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['GMTECH_API_KEY']}"},
    json={
        "models": ["gpt-4o", "claude-sonnet-46", "google-gemini-25-pro"],
        "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum entanglement in one sentence."}],
        "gmtech": {"create_snapshot": True, "snapshot_public": True}
    }
)

data = response.json()
for choice in data["choices"]:
    print(choice["model"], "→", choice["message"]["content"])

print(data["gmtech"]["snapshot_url"])  # shareable link

Parameters

Response

Returns choices — one entry per model — plus a gmtech block if a snapshot was created:

{
  "object": "chat.compare.completion",
  "choices": [
    {
      "index": 0,
      "model": "gpt-4o",
      "message": {"role": "assistant", "content": "..."},
      "finish_reason": "stop",
      "usage": {"prompt_tokens": 20, "completion_tokens": 30, "total_tokens": 50},
      "gmtech": {"cost_usd": 0.000312}
    }
  ],
  "gmtech": {
    "snapshot_uuid": "abc123...",
    "snapshot_url": "https://app.gmtech.com/snapshots/abc123..."
  }
}

Compare: Image Generation

Run the same image prompt against multiple image models in a single call. Returns one image URL per model. Optionally saves the result as a shareable snapshot.

import requests, os

response = requests.post(
    "https://app.gmtech.com/v1/compare/images",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['GMTECH_API_KEY']}"},
    json={
        "models": ["gpt-image-1", "google-imagegen-4"],
        "prompt": "A futuristic city at sunset",
        "gmtech": {"create_snapshot": True, "snapshot_public": True}
    }
)

data = response.json()
for choice in data["choices"]:
    print(choice["model"], "→", choice["url"])

print(data["gmtech"]["snapshot_url"])  # shareable link

Parameters

Response

{
  "object": "image.compare.completion",
  "choices": [
    {
      "index": 0,
      "model": "gpt-image-1",
      "url": "https://storage.googleapis.com/.../abc123.webp",
      "finish_reason": "stop",
      "gmtech": {"cost_usd": 0.042}
    }
  ],
  "gmtech": {
    "snapshot_uuid": "abc123...",
    "snapshot_url": "https://app.gmtech.com/snapshots/abc123..."
  }
}

Migration from OpenAI

Before (OpenAI)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key="sk-...")
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
)

After (GMTech)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://app.gmtech.com/v1",  # Only change
    api_key="gmtech_..."                 # Only change
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",  # Can also use claude-sonnet-46, google-gemini-25-pro, etc.
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
)
