Feature 01

Universal model access

Route requests to frontier and open-source models like Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, and Qwen through one API key. No separate accounts, no per-provider SDKs.

Automatic fallback routing ensures uptime even when individual providers experience outages. Smart load balancing distributes requests for optimal latency.

api.blackbox.ai — model routing

# Route to any model through one API key

→ "gpt-5.3-codex" routed to OpenAI

→ "claude-sonnet" routed to Anthropic

→ "gemini-3" routed to Google

→ "grok-4" routed to xAI

→ "llama-3" routed to Meta

→ "mistral-large" routed to Mistral

Frontier + open-source models • 1 API key • automatic fallback

Feature 02

OpenAI-compatible endpoints

Use /v1/chat/completions, /v1/embeddings, and /v1/images/generations with the same request format you already know. Migrate in under 5 minutes.

Full streaming support, function calling, JSON mode, and vision inputs across all compatible models. Response format matches OpenAI spec exactly.

migration — 2 minutes

# Before (OpenAI SDK)

baseURL: "https://api.openai.com/v1"

apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY

# After (Blackbox — same SDK)

baseURL: "https://api.blackbox.ai"

apiKey: process.env.BLACKBOX_API_KEY

✓ Same request format • same response shape

✓ Streaming, function calling, JSON mode

Feature 03

Enterprise-grade infrastructure

99.9% uptime SLA, sub-200ms median latency, and usage-based billing with no per-seat costs. Scale from prototype to production without renegotiating contracts.

Enterprise-ready infrastructure with data residency options. Rate limits scale automatically with your plan. Real-time usage dashboards and cost alerts.

FAQ

Common Questions.

IS THE API OPENAI-COMPATIBLE?

Yes. Use the same SDK and request format you already know — just swap the base URL and API key. Supports /v1/chat/completions, /v1/embeddings, and /v1/images/generations with full streaming, function calling, JSON mode, and vision inputs.

WHAT MODELS ARE AVAILABLE?

The API includes frontier and open-source models such as Claude Opus-4.6, GPT-5.2, Gemini-3, Grok-4, Llama 4, Mistral, DeepSeek, and Qwen from leading providers. New models are added continuously as they launch.

HOW IS PRICING STRUCTURED?

Pay per token with no per-seat fees. The free tier includes unlimited agent requests on Minimax-M2.5. Pro starts at $10/mo with $20 in credits, Pro Plus at $20/mo with $40 in credits, and Pro Max at $40/mo with $80 in credits. Enterprise volume discounts are available.

DO YOU SUPPORT STREAMING?

Yes. Full SSE streaming support is available across all chat completion models. Response format matches the OpenAI spec exactly, so existing streaming implementations work without modification.

WHAT SECURITY MEASURES DO YOU HAVE?

Infrastructure uses TLS 1.3 encryption in transit and AES-256 at rest. Enterprise plans add end-to-end encryption with zero-knowledge architecture, RBAC with SSO (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace), and comprehensive audit logging.

WHAT IS THE API UPTIME GUARANTEE?

The API provides a 99.9% uptime SLA with sub-200ms median latency. Automatic fallback routing ensures availability even when individual providers experience outages, and smart load balancing optimizes for the lowest latency.

CAN I USE THE API WITH EXISTING OPENAI SDKS?

Yes. The API is fully compatible with the official OpenAI Python and Node.js SDKs, as well as LangChain, LlamaIndex, and other popular frameworks. Migration takes under 5 minutes — just change the base URL.
