Introduction

QuickSilver Pro Docs

OpenAI-compatible inference API for open-weight and closed frontier models, including Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, xAI Grok, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, and MiniMax. Supported Gemini and FLUX models provide image generation. Most shared OpenRouter models are 20% lower; exact model-specific prices and exceptions are published in the catalog.

What is QuickSilver Pro?

QSP exposes an OpenAI-compatible chat-completions endpoint. Point the official openai SDK (Python, Node, Swift, or any compatible client) at https://api.quicksilverpro.io/v1, supply your QSP API key, and the chat-completions surface works unchanged — streaming, tool calling, json_schema strict mode, and usage accounting are all preserved. The Responses API is available for deepseek-v4-flash, including streaming, tool use, reasoning effort, and Codex clients. Other SDK surfaces ( client.embeddings.create and the Assistants API) are not in scope. client.images.generate IS supported — see image generation; image-generation Gemini models are the exception and still go through standard chat-completions calls.

The catalog spans open-weight models and closed frontier families, including Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, xAI Grok, and Google Gemini. They share the same QSP API key, prepaid balance, and OpenAI-compatible chat-completions surface. See the models reference for the currently supported model IDs, context windows, and prices.

Start here

  • Quickstart — first call in Python, Node, Swift, and curl.
  • Models — IDs, context windows, pricing, when to use which.
  • Rate limits — default per-key throughput and how to request more.
  • Streaming — SSE chunk format and client-side handling.
  • Tool calling — function calling, parallel tool calls, JSON-arg streaming.
  • Structured output json_schema strict mode for typed responses.
  • Errors — status codes, common gotchas, and how to retry safely.

Conventions used in these docs

  • Code examples use the official OpenAI SDK for each language. The QSP-specific change is always the base_url and the API key — model IDs are listed in Models.
  • Pricing is per 1M tokens, USD. See the homepage pricing table for the current rates.
  • Anything not documented behaves like the OpenAI chat-completions endpoint. If you find a divergence from OpenAI semantics that isn't documented here, it's a bug — report it.
