How to use Claude, GPT & DeepSeek through one API
Published 2026-07-08 · Nexotao
You don't have a “which model is best” problem. You have a seven-logins, three-credit-cards, four-invoices problem.
Every serious AI app ends up wanting more than one model. Claude for the hard reasoning. Qwen3 Coder for tool-calling. DeepSeek for high-volume chat. So you sign up everywhere — separate keys, separate dashboards, separate monthly minimums — just to answer one question: which model is actually good for my use case?
One API, one key, one balance
Nexotao is a single OpenAI-compatible gateway for 34 Phase 1 models — Claude, Qwen, DeepSeek, Nova, and more — behind one key and one balance. You point your existing SDK at one base URL and switch models by changing a single string:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.nexotao.com/v1",
api_key="YOUR_NEXOTAO_KEY",
)
# swap models by changing one string — same key, same balance
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="qwen3-coder-next", # or claude-opus-4-6, nova-micro, gpt-oss-120b …
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Refactor this function..."}],
)No new SDK, no per-provider migration. It also speaks the Anthropic format, so Claude Code and Anthropic SDKs point at it too. The 5-minute quickstart has the full setup.
Pay per token, not per month
There is no plan and no seat. You top up a balance and every call draws it down by the exact tokens you use — input and output billed separately at each model's live rate. Nothing expires on a billing cycle, so a model you tried once and abandoned costs you nothing next month.
That changes how you experiment. Want to A/B a lightweight workhorse against a frontier flagship on the same prompt? Do it on one balance, in one afternoon, same key.
What does it cost?
Prices move, so I won't freeze a number in a blog post. The full per-token catalog — every model in Rupiah, from a lightweight workhorse to a frontier flagship — is listed here: AI API pricing (full catalog at nexotao.com/harga). No credit card required either — top up with QRIS or crypto.
Create a key and top up in about a minute.
