A single-purpose product by a single developer. No VC funding, no corporation — just one person solving a real problem.
I'm an indie developer who got tired of watching my AI API bills stack up. GPT-4o at $10 per million output tokens adds up fast when you're running daily scripts, building AI features, or just experimenting.
Meanwhile, open-source models like DeepSeek V3, Qwen 2.5, and GLM-4 were getting really good — but using them meant juggling multiple accounts, different SDKs, and incompatible formats.
So I built Token Hub: one OpenAI-compatible endpoint that sits on top of these models. You keep using the same OpenAI SDK you already know — just swap the URL. The system handles model selection, routing, and format conversion behind the scenes.
My monthly bill went from $30-50 to about $3. Same workload, same quality, 90%+ savings. I built this for myself first. Now I'm sharing it.
1️⃣
You send an API request
Same OpenAI format you already use. Python, Node, cURL — all supported.
2️⃣
Smart Router picks the best model
Simple tasks go to cheap fast models. Complex tasks go to the strongest model. You don't think about it.
3️⃣
You get the response back
Same JSON format as OpenAI. Streaming works. Your code doesn't change.
4️⃣
You pay 90%+ less
vs GPT-4o. Pay only for tokens you use. No subscriptions, no minimums.
🔒
No Prompt Logging
We don't store your prompts or completions. Period. Your data is yours.
🌏
Hong Kong Hosting
Low latency for both Asia and international users. Direct fiber to mainland China.
🆓
No Credit Card to Start
Get 1 million free tokens. Try every model. Only pay when you need more.
📊
Real-Time Dashboard
See exactly how many tokens you've used, which models, and what it cost.
🚫
Not a model trainer
We don't train or fine-tune any models. We route your requests to the best existing open-source models.
🚫
Not a subscription trap
No monthly commitments, no auto-renewal, no "contact us to cancel." Pay only for what you use.
🚫
Not a black box
Every request route is transparent in your dashboard. You always know which model handled your task.
🚫
Not VC-funded vaporware
Built and maintained by one developer. No runway to burn, no hype cycles to ride. Just a working product.
Who runs Token Hub?
One indie developer who needed this for his own projects. No team, no company, no investors. If you have questions or feedback, you're talking directly to the person who built it.
How do the models compare to GPT-4o?
For most everyday tasks — text generation, classification, translation, summarization — the open-source models we route to are very competitive. For cutting-edge reasoning, GPT-4o still has an edge, but at 20x the cost. Smart Routing helps by sending hard problems to the strongest available model automatically.
What if a model goes down?
Smart Routing includes automatic fallback. If your preferred model is unavailable, the system tries the next best match without you doing anything.
Is this production-ready?
Yes, with the same caveats as any API service. Implement retry logic and error handling (same as you would calling OpenAI directly). The underlying model providers are production-grade.
Can I use this with my existing OpenAI code?
Absolutely. Change two lines: base_url to https://guotoken.chat/v1 and api_key to your Token Hub key. Everything else stays identical.
