How it works
A cheaper, compatible endpoint.
The same OpenAI calls, routed to a network of independent GPUs instead of a single premium vendor.
Why it costs less
Premium APIs price every call at frontier rates, with cloud markup built in before it reaches you. Blue Claw routes your calls to a network of independent GPU operators and exposes them through the same OpenAI API. Fewer middlemen, lower cost per call, and the exact same request shape your client already speaks.
How routing works
You send an OpenAI-compatible request. Blue Claw picks a healthy operator that serves the model you asked for, sends the job, checks the result, and settles payment. If an operator is slow or unavailable, the request fails over to another one. From your side it looks like a normal API call with a normal response.
Real-time and async
Interactive calls run in real time, which is what you want for coding and research loops. For heavier work that can trade a little latency for lower cost, durable async jobs with polling, retries, and budget ceilings are in development.
What you can run
Available today:
- Chat and completions, including streaming.
- Embeddings for search, RAG, and indexing.
- Image generation on open image models.
- Text-to-speech and speech-to-text.
- Reranking to re-order retrieved candidates.
In development: durable async jobs, chained workflows, and video AI tools.
What to route, what to keep
The win is putting your high-volume, repetitive work on Blue Claw and keeping premium APIs for the handful of calls that truly need frontier quality. A few examples:
- Code review loops: run the repeat checks and summaries on Blue Claw; keep final judgment calls on a premium model.
- Inbox triage: classify, summarize, and draft on Blue Claw; hand off sensitive replies.
- Meeting notes: transcribe, summarize, and extract actions on Blue Claw; polish the client-ready version elsewhere.
- Document and index jobs: embeddings and repeat summaries on Blue Claw; reserve high-stakes analysis for premium calls.
Trust and privacy
Blue Claw does not log prompts, inputs, or outputs by default, and retains only limited operational metadata for abuse prevention, billing, reliability, and debugging. There is no TEE, E2EE, or confidential-compute guarantee yet, so review sensitive or regulated workloads before using the service. See the privacy policy for details.
