Open Source LLMs, One API — Start Free with Kyma

The Problem: LLMs Are Fragmented
You want to use open-source LLMs in production. But your options are painful.
You could go straight to each model author — Google for Gemini, DeepSeek for reasoning, Alibaba for Qwen. But that means juggling separate API keys, learning each portal's rate limits, and rewriting your code every time one of them is down.
You could use a generic LLM aggregator. But most are text-only, lock you into whatever model menu they ship, and leave you eating the cost of failed upstream calls.
Or you bite the bullet and use closed models from OpenAI or Anthropic. Fine if you have the budget. But if you're building a startup, demo, or side project, every token counts.
What Kyma Does
Kyma API gives you one endpoint to 60+ models — not just text, but image, video, and voice too. Sign up, get $0.50 free credits (around 1000 requests), and start using models like:
- •DeepSeek V3 — GPT-5 class reasoning, $0.81 per 1M input tokens
- •Qwen 3.6 Plus — Most popular model on Kyma, best all-around quality
- •Llama 3.3 70B — Open-weight champion, available instantly
- •Gemini 2.5 Flash — 1M context window for processing entire books at once
Every request is OpenAI-compatible. Drop-in replacement for existing code. No vendor lock-in.

Three Quick Examples
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://kymaapi.com/v1",
api_key="your-key-here"
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek-v3",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in 2 sentences"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
baseURL: "https://kymaapi.com/v1",
apiKey: "your-key-here",
});
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "qwen-3.6-plus",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello world" }],
});
console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
curl https://kymaapi.com/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer your-key-here" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "gemini-2.5-flash",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
}'
