Launch offer — 3x credit, or stop paying for GLM-5.3 Flash
launch
Through September 30: top up $5-$99 and your credit is tripled on GLM-5.3 Flash ($5 holds $15, $50 holds $150, up to $100 of bonus per account, expiring 90 days after the top-up). Or a single top-up of $100 or more and GLM-5.3 Flash stops being metered for you entirely — those calls are not billed and do not draw down your balance, while the $100 stays ordinary credit for the full catalog.
Two tiers, split at $100, both running through September 30.
Under $100: top up $5-$99 and the credit is tripled — $5 holds $15, $50 holds $150. The bonus is spendable on GLM-5.3 Flash only, expires 90 days after the top-up, and is capped at $100 of bonus per account, so topping up more than $50 does not earn more of it.
At $100 or more, in a single payment: no bonus, but GLM-5.3 Flash stops being metered for you. Calls to it are not billed and do not draw down your balance, while the $100 itself stays ordinary credit spendable across the whole catalog. Unmetered, not unthrottled — the free calls are rate-limited and return 429 with Retry-After above that rate. It takes one payment of that size; five $20 top-ups do not unlock it, and refunding takes it back.
When the window closes on September 30 the credit does not: it stays yours, spendable on any model, and GLM-5.3 Flash simply bills at its normal $0.15 / $0.50 per 1M tokens again. Model page: /models/zai-org/glm-5.3-flash.

GLM-5.3 Flash — live
newmodel
GLM-5.3 Flash is live. Z.ai's 320B-parameter MoE (18B active) — natively multimodal, 1.28M-token context, approaching Claude Opus 4.8 on coding and agentic benchmarks — at $0.15 / $0.50 per 1M tokens. Through September 30, top up $5-$99 and your credit is tripled ($5 → $15, $50 → $150, up to $100 of bonus per account); the bonus is spendable on GLM-5.3 Flash only and expires 90 days after the top-up. A single top-up of $100 or more instead makes GLM-5.3 Flash unmetered for the same window.

Auto Router
launchnew
Auto Router is live. Set model:"auto" (or scope it with model:"auto/text", auto/image, auto/video, auto/tts, auto/stt, auto/music, auto/embedding) and AIgateway reads each request, picks the cheapest model in a curated, eval-covered pool that still clears the quality floor, and bills you less than the premium model you'd otherwise have called — guaranteed, with the baseline acting as a hard cost ceiling. It's the only auto router that spans every generative modality, not just text. Every routed response returns transparency headers showing the model that ran, why, your premium baseline, and the exact dollars saved. Optional baseline_model sets your own ceiling; x-routing (cost | speed | quality | auto) biases the pick.
Set `model:"auto"` on any request and the router reads it, picks the cheapest model in a curated, eval-covered pool that still clears the quality floor, and never charges you more than the premium model you'd have called yourself. Scope a lane with `model:"auto/text"` (also image, video, tts, stt, music, embedding) or omit the model field entirely. Every request carries a baseline — set it with `baseline_model`, or it defaults to the premium model for that modality — and the router only routes down from it, so the baseline doubles as a hard cost ceiling. Every routed response returns transparency headers: X-Routing-Selected, X-Routing-Reason, X-Routing-Complexity, X-Routing-Quality, X-Auto-Baseline-Model, X-Auto-Baseline-Cost-Cents, and X-Auto-Savings-Cents. Bias the pick with the x-routing header (cost | speed | quality | auto). It's the only auto router that spans every generative modality, not just text.

/v1/images/edits — OpenAI-compatible image editing
new
client.images.edit() now works against the gateway. Multipart upload or image_url JSON, optional mask, default model bria/fibo-edit/edit. Backed by the full Bria Fibo edit family, Bytedance Seedream V4 edit, and Flux image-to-image — pick by model id.
The endpoint was previously a 501 stub. It now accepts multipart/form-data (image File + optional mask File + prompt) or JSON ({ image_url, mask_url, prompt }). Multipart uploads are content-addressed and archived to R2, so we hand fal a stable media.aigateway.sh URL instead of stuffing base64 into the upstream JSON body. 25 MB inbound cap per file. Response shape matches OpenAI exactly: { created, data: [{ url | b64_json }] }. Default model when none is specified is bria/fibo-edit/edit (~$0.04/image, general-purpose). Override with any model whose capabilities include image-to-image — Bria Fibo erase/replace/restyle/relight/colorize, Bytedance Seedream V4 edit, Flux dev, Bria Upscale Creative, and more.

Python SDK, Node SDK, and CLI — live on PyPI + npm
new
pip install aigateway-py · pnpm add aigateway-js · npm i -g aigateway-cli (`aig` binary). Wraps async jobs, sub-accounts, evals, replays, signed file URLs, and webhook verification.
The OpenAI SDK with our base_url is still the right choice for chat / embeddings / images / STT / TTS — that hasn't changed. The new packages cover the aggregator-native surface OpenAI doesn't model: text-to-video / music / 3D async jobs with a typed wait() helper, per-customer sub-account keys, eval-driven routing, replay + shadow A/B, signed file URLs, and HMAC webhook verification. The CLI ships as the `aig` binary — `aig init` walks through key entry, writes .env, and scaffolds a working starter file in TS / JS / Python. Source on GitHub at packages/{sdk-python,sdk-node,cli}.
