API Endpoints

1. OpenAI-Compatible API

Endpoint: POST http://localhost:3333/v1/chat/completions

curl -X POST http://localhost:3333/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant"},
      {"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing"}
    ],
    "temperature": 0.7,
    "max_tokens": 1000,
    "stream": false
  }'

2. Anthropic-Compatible API

Endpoint: POST http://localhost:3333/v1/messages

curl -X POST http://localhost:3333/v1/messages \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Anthropic-Api-Version: 2023-06-01" \
  -d '{
    "model": "claude-opus-4-5-latest",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Write a Python function for Fibonacci"}
    ],
    "max_tokens": 1000

Automatically selects the best model based on your query:

curl -X POST http://localhost:3333/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Build a REST API in Python"}],
    "stream": false
  }'

Usage Examples

JavaScript/Node.js

// Using OpenAI SDK
import OpenAI from 'openai';

const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: 'any-key',  // Puter.js doesn't require real API key
  baseURL: 'http://localhost:3333/v1'
});

async function chat() {
  const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'gpt-4o',
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }],
    stream: false
  });
  
  console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
}

chat();

Python

import requests

def chat_with_ai(message: str, model: str = "deepseek-chat") -> str:
    """Chat with any available model"""
    
    response = requests.post(
        'http://localhost:3333/v1/chat/completions',
        json={
            'model': model,
            'messages': [{'role': 'user', 'content': message}],
            'stream': False
        }
    )
    
    data = response.json()
    return data['choices'][0]['message']['content']

# Example usage
print(chat_with_ai("Hello! How are you?", "gpt-4o"))

CLI Tool

# Interactive chat
node cli.mjs

# One-liner
echo "Hello!" | node cli.mjs

🔧 Configuration Options

Server Options

// In index.js
const app = express();
app.use(express.json({ limit: '50mb' }));  // Large payload support
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true, limit: '50mb' }));

Rate Limiting

Add to your middleware:

const rateLimit = require('express-rate-limit');

const limiter = rateLimit({
  windowMs: 60 * 1000, // 1 minute
  max: 100, // limit each IP to 100 requests per minute
  message: { error: "Too many requests" }
});

app.use(limiter);

Adding New Models

Edit router.js:

export function pickModel(messages) {
  const text = messages.map(m => m.content || "").join(" ").toLowerCase();
  
  // Add new model detection
  if (text.includes("newKeyword")) {
    return "new-model-name";
  }
  
  // ... existing logic
}

Running Tests

# Test all models
npm test

# Test specific model
npm test -- --model=gpt-4o

# Test proxy endpoints
npm run test:proxy

📊 Performance

Response Times (Average)

Model	First Token	Full Response	Throughput
gpt-4o	~500ms	~1.5s	45 tokens/s
deepseek-chat	~800ms	~1.7s	35 tokens/s
claude-opus-4	~1.2s	~2.7s	28 tokens/s
gpt-4o-mini	~400ms	~1.0s	60 tokens/s

Optimization Tips

Use non-streaming for simple queries
Reuse connections with keep-alive
Cache responses for repeated queries
Batch requests when possible
