Together AI → QuickSilver Pro
Both APIs speak the OpenAI chat-completions shape, so the move is a base-URL swap. On DeepSeek R1 that swap is worth ~71% on output ($2.00 vs $7.00 per 1M tokens); on V3, ~44%. For the full side-by-side analysis, see /vs/together-ai.

Change the base URL
In your OpenAI SDK init, swap the base_url.
- base_url="https://api.together.xyz/v1" + base_url="https://api.quicksilverpro.io/v1" - 3
Swap the API key
Replace your Together token with a QuickSilver Pro key.
- api_key=os.environ["TOGETHER_API_KEY"], + api_key=os.environ["QSP_KEY"], - 4
Rename model IDs
Together prefixes model IDs with the originating org. Drop the prefix and use the QuickSilver Pro short name.
