Call Base via Agent Command Center

One OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Routing, fallback, semantic caching, guardrails, and cost tracking come along for the ride. First 100K requests + 100K cache hits free every month.

SDK
Native Future AGI client (agentcc / @agentcc/client). Per-call metadata — provider, cost, latency, cache hit, request id — is returned on x-agentcc-* response headers, so any HTTP client can read it.
# Base via the Agent Command Center Python SDK
# pip install agentcc
import os
from agentcc import AgentCC

client = AgentCC(
    api_key=os.environ["AGENTCC_API_KEY"],   # from app.futureagi.com → Settings → API Keys
    base_url="https://gateway.futureagi.com/v1",
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepgram/base",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Base!"}],
)

print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
print(f"Tokens: {resp.usage.total_tokens}")

# Per-call gateway metadata is returned on x-agentcc-* response headers.
# When you need it programmatically, use .with_raw_response to get them:
raw = client.chat.completions.with_raw_response.create(
    model="deepgram/base",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Same call, but I want the headers."}],
)
print("Provider:", raw.headers.get("x-agentcc-provider"))
print("Latency:", raw.headers.get("x-agentcc-latency-ms"), "ms")
print("Cost:   ", raw.headers.get("x-agentcc-cost"), "USD")
print("Cache:  ", raw.headers.get("x-agentcc-cache"))

FAQ

How much does Base cost?

Public per-token pricing for Base is not yet published. Submit a source on this page to help us add it.

What is the context window of Base?

Context window for Base is not currently public.

Does Base support function calling?

Base does not currently advertise function-calling support. For agentic workloads, prefer a tool-calling-capable model and route via Agent Command Center for fallback.

Is Base good for production?

Base is best evaluated against your own production traces. Pipe traffic through Agent Command Center to compare it head-to-head against alternatives in shadow mode.

How can I route to Base with fallback?

Use Agent Command Center: a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint that supports cost-optimized routing, latency-aware retries, model fallback, and shadow traffic. Configure once, swap models without app changes.
