Stop Juggling API Keys: Access DeepSeek, GLM, and Kimi Through a Unified LLM API Gateway

A unified LLM API gateway can simplify agentic workflows by providing one endpoint, API key, and compatibility layer for multiple models, reducing the configuration, billing, and format-handling complexity of using providers such as DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, MiniMax, and Qwen directly. The described routing approach recommends lower-cost, faster models such as DeepSeek V4 Flash or V3.2 for frequent simple tasks, stronger models such as DeepSeek V4 Pro and GLM 5.1 for complex reasoning and code generation, and Kimi K2.6 for large codebases or long documents due to its 262K-token context window. Atlas Cloud Coding Plan is presented as a gateway supporting ten open-source models with credit-based pricing claimed to be 35% to 55% below official API rates, while excluding closed-source models such as Claude and GPT-4. The guide outlines configuration changes for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw, explains their differing base URL and authentication requirements, and compares monthly subscriptions for steady daily use with pay-as-you-go credits for irregular workloads.
