Who it fits
- One Vercel key across hundreds of lab models at list price (0% markup), with failover and first-party wiring into Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Cline.
- Builders who start in the browser without a local IDE setup
Pros
One key, hundreds of models (OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceXAI, Gemini, OSS) including text, image, and video; tokens at provider list with 0% markup — including BYOK; automatic failover if a provider degrades — same model on another host; native setup for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cline, and Grok Build; drop-in OpenAI Chat Completions, Responses, and Anthropic Messages APIs.
Cons
Extra hop vs calling a lab directly — you still depend on Vercel routing; credits wallet by default — not a free always-on hobby pool; some spend/security controls sit on higher Vercel plan tiers; not v0 — this is the model gateway, not the vibe builder.
