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.
# Grok 4.6 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="perplexity/xai-grok-4-6",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Grok 4.6!"}],
)

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="perplexity/xai-grok-4-6",
    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"))
