# OpenAI Compatible API

{% hint style="info" %}
The page is currently being developed. If you experience issues, please contact our support team. Your feedback helps us improve our documentation for everyone.
{% endhint %}

The OpenAI-Compatible Inference API offers seamless drop-in replacements for OpenAI’s core endpoints, including chat completions, image generations, and more. Designed for developers familiar with the OpenAI API, it mirrors the structure, parameters, and behavior of endpoints like `/v1/chat/completions` and `/v1/images/generations`, enabling effortless integration without rewriting your codebase. This compatibility layer allows you to switch to a decentralized or self-hosted backend while maintaining full interoperability with existing OpenAI-compatible tools and SDKs.
