Yes, it’s a gutter oil joke.

FREQUENTLY MUTTERED QUESTIONS

Gutter oil is recovered from restaurant drains and resold as fresh. We resell tokens at a discount that raises the same eyebrow. That is where the resemblance stops — nothing here is fried twice, filtered through a sieve, or scraped out of anything.

The models are (probably) the real models. The only recycled thing is the punchline, and we’re getting a lot of mileage out of it. Read the privacy page before you paste anything sensitive — we’d say that about any resale endpoint, including this one.

Every model on the list is now just a string in your request. Streaming, tools and caching behave exactly as documented, which is the least funny thing about us.

Prompt caching, if you use it: writing a prefix to cache costs 25% more than sending it once, and every read after that costs 90% less. Two hits and you are ahead.
Prices follow the source. When it drops, the list drops; when it rises, we sulk and update the list.

Ten dollars, one base URL, zero ceremony.
