# Your existing OpenAI code:
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
  base_url="https://router.flatkey.ai/v1",
  api_key="sk-flatkey-...",
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="deepseek-v4-flash",
  messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Does this use the same model id in my SDK?

Yes. Keep your SDK and switch base_url plus api_key.

Can I control usage before scaling?

Yes. Prepaid balance, usage analytics, and one invoice keep spend bounded.
