AirAi Ecosystem Cooperation Program: Allocating a budget of $10,000 to sponsor those who are still working on their projects

More than 400 models use the same entry point, and in common usage, this approach is about 70% cheaper than the official direct connection. Now, we are making this cost-saving opportunity available to everyone – those who develop products, manage channels, create content, or work with open-source projects.

01Let's start with something that many people are going through right now.

I work on a few side projects on my own. In the early stages, there were only two options: either to bite the bullet and subscribe to the official monthly subscription service, or to approach each manufacturer individually to secure business opportunities.

Two things were discovered during the end-of-month accounting:

• Probably 80% of the requests are for lightweight tasks such as summarization, classification, and formatting.Using the most expensive model is simply a waste of resources;

• Subscription isFixed CostsWhen the calls are few, there is a loss; when the calls are many, there is not enough capacity to meet the demand.

Later, we switched the traffic to a pay-as-you-go gateway, and the bills decreased by about 70%. We have described this entire process in detail in the article on our website titled "I Cut LLM API Bills by 70%".

02What is AirAi?

One sentence:A unified API gateway.One key, a set of OpenAI-compatible protocols,More than 400 modelsAll the major overseas models, such as Claude, GPT, Gemini, and the o-series reasoning models, use the same entry point. You don't need to change the endpoint when switching models, nor do you have to rewrite the integration code for each vendor.

For developers, the actual experience is that they just need to modify one line of code (`base_url`) to complete the task, without having to rewrite the integration code for each different manufacturer:

• Protocol Compatibility Protocol CompatibilityThe existing SDKs, frameworks, and clients in the OpenAI ecosystem can generally be used directly;

• Channel RedundancyMultiple supplier channels are associated with the same model. When one channel experiences instability, the system automatically retries and switches to another channel, eliminating the need for you to write the retry logic;

• The cost is approximately 30% of the official direct connection price.(Frequently used), and when combined with the hint caching mechanism, the performance can be even further improved;

• For whom is it intended?Small teams working on AI products, independent developers, and those who manage automated/Agent workflows.

Not all services are suitable for being migrated here; for scenarios with strict requirements for stability and compliance, it is still recommended to use the official direct connection. We will not be ambiguous about this point.

03Why is it necessary to develop a "Cooperation Plan" now?

Our judgment is very simple: Our decision is quite straightforward:Next, what determines how fast a person can run is not how much work they can do, but how many Agents they can motivate to work.

In the past, it would have taken a whole department and a complete set of systems to accomplish a task, but now perhaps just one person, along with a few well-coordinated intelligent agents, is sufficient. A small number of people are now capable of running a company, and this is no longer just a slogan; it's something that can be seen in the financial records.

Rather than spending money on advertising ourselves, it’s better to allocate the savings to the people who are actually doing the work. That’s the whole motivation behind this plan—nothing complicated about it.

04Four types of cooperation methods

05How to join

No need to fill out forms, nor to send emails back and forth.Find us directly on Telegram and just attach the project information.——What you are doing, what stage you are at currently, the approximate scale of your work, and the type of cooperation you are looking for would be much more useful if you send all that information at once, rather than just filling out a form.

• Telegram：@mmrcle123

• A: Tiered sponsorship options B: Channel agency services C: Content collaboration D: Open-source development and event sponsorshipUse this entrance only.；

• At this stage, online self-service top-up is not yet available.For paid services or large-scale procurement needs, you can also contact us directly for discussion.

We will assess and respond to your request for sponsorship as soon as possible. For matters related to channels and wholesale, it is necessary to have one-on-one communication to clarify the details.
