CodeI Lab gateway details

A third-party paid GPT API relay aimed at coding agents; the website states it is not affiliated with OpenAI. One key works over two protocols: the OpenAI-compatible endpoint https://www.codeilab.com/api/codex (Responses and Chat Completions) and the Anthropic Messages-compatible endpoint https://www.codeilab.com/api/anthropic. Over the Claude protocol, requests for claude-sonnet / opus / haiku are mapped to GPT models of the matching tier; no Claude models are offered. The pricing page lists six models: GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6.1 Terra, GPT-5.6 Sol, and GPT-5.6 Terra. The docs include setup guides for Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, and OpenCode, plus a one-line install script.

Best for: For developers who run GPT models in Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, or OpenCode with fairly steady monthly usage; buy the $3 trial first to check models and speed before choosing a monthly plan.

Status notes

The website, docs, pricing page, terms of service, and privacy policy were accessible; keyless requests to /api/codex/responses and /api/anthropic/v1/messages both returned 401 authentication errors. AI Beyond has not signed up, made paid requests, or tested latency, and has not verified the upstream source or an independent public status page.

Pricing mode

Priced in USD. Plans include a USD quota deducted at official pay-as-you-go rates: Trial $3.00 for 7 days with $30, Plus $9.90/month with $100, Pro $39.90/month with $500, and Ultra $99.90/month with $1,500, plus a custom plan with a chosen monthly quota and a 1–6 month term; quarterly and yearly billing are listed at 15% and 30% off. Every plan includes all six models and differs in quota and API key limit (3 / 10 / 50 / 100 keys). The pricing page also mentions pay-as-you-go top-ups that do not expire with a billing cycle. Per-1M-token rates include GPT-6.1 Terra at $1 input / $5 output and GPT-6 Astra at $10 input / $50 output; for GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol, and both GPT-6.1 models, a request with more than 272K input tokens is billed at 2x input and cache rates and 1.5x output for the whole request. The website's "up to 93% below official pay-as-you-go cost" figure is Ultra's $99.90 divided by its $1,500 quota, which holds only if the quota is fully used. The terms of service say payments go through Stripe. On 2026-11-06 the discount note labeled Ultra as "Ultra (Monthly) (One-time)" while the bottom of the pricing page said plans renew automatically and can be cancelled any time; check the checkout page for the renewal terms.

Usually you create an API key in the platform console, then replace the SDK's baseURL, model name, and auth details per the docs. Test streaming, function calling, error codes, and rate limits before launch.

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://www.codeilab.com/api/codex"
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-6.1-terra",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Test one call through an AI gateway." }]
});

• Supported models: OpenAI.
• Capabilities: OpenAI-compatible.
• Documentation completeness: High; stability not tested.

• Not an official OpenAI service; the website describes itself as an independent third-party gateway. It sells quota at a fraction of official pay-as-you-go prices but does not disclose its upstream source, and AI Beyond has not verified its authorization or the identity of the models served. Over the Claude protocol the models actually called are GPT models; tool calling depends on the model, and the website says GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 models need the Responses API for tools. The terms of service grant the platform a limited license to use your code and feedback to improve the service, and the privacy policy says it collects API requests and interaction data; avoid sending sensitive code or data. The terms offer a 14-day money-back guarantee for new subscriptions, with later refunds at the platform's discretion. Unused plan quota does not carry over. The privacy policy lists the contact email cfjwlchangji@gmail.com, and the submitter also provided links@codeilab.com; the footer names the company Fomalhaut Labs, which the submitter says is based in Singapore; AI Beyond has not verified the operating entity. No independent public status page has been verified.
• Third-party relay pricing, models, and availability can change, so re-check them periodically.

Is CodeI Lab compatible with the OpenAI API?

This entry is marked as supporting the OpenAI-compatible format, but the exact base_url, model names, and parameters still follow the official docs.

Is CodeI Lab ready for production?

Run a small-traffic load test, rate-limit test, and error-code test first, and confirm the billing rules; keep a backup provider for important workloads.
