Welcome to Openference

Openference is a curated AI model proxy. It provides a single, stable, OpenAI-compatible API endpoint that intelligently routes your requests to the best available upstream providers. One base URL. One API key. Many models.

​
Why Openference?

  • Drop-in compatible: Works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Cline, OpenCode, Pi, and similar coding tools.
  • Curated catalog: Hand-picked high-quality models across providers. We handle deprecations so you don’t have to.
  • Automatic failover & key rotation: If one upstream provider is down or rate-limited, we route to healthy alternatives.
  • Transparent pricing: Plan-based pricing with included usage, plus clear on-demand rates for every model when you need more. No surprise bills.
  • Usage separation: Plan quotas vs on-demand credits are tracked distinctly.
  • Format translation: Send OpenAI format to Anthropic-format models (and vice-versa). We convert for you.
  • Fast & global: Runs on a globally distributed edge network for low latency worldwide.
