What Is a Gateway?

(Experienced users can skip this page.)

A gateway is a bridge between you and the target AI service provider. It brings several practical benefits.

Main Benefits

You can access and use AI services directly without proxy tools. This lowers the entry barrier and makes setup easier for more developers.

Lower Cost Than Official Pricing

Through scaled operations and cost optimization, Xiaomai API can provide more affordable pricing than official channels.

One Account for Many Services

How It Works

Your computer <-> Xiaomai API Gateway <-> AI service provider

        local access             upstream service

Xiaomai API acts as the middle layer:

1. Receives your request
2. Forwards it to the AI service provider
3. Returns the result to you

The process is transparent from your perspective, and the usage experience is close to the official service.
