# pip install aigateway-py openai
# aigateway-py: sub-accounts, evals, replays, jobs, webhook verify.
# openai SDK: chat/embeddings/images/audio — drop-in compat per our SDK's own guidance.
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.aigateway.sh/v1",
    api_key="sk-aig-...",
)

# Try GPT-5.5 Pro
client.chat.completions.create(
    model="openai/gpt-5.5-pro",
    messages=[{"role":"user","content":"hello"}],
