How it works

A cheaper endpoint with native routes.

The same OpenAI and Anthropic calls, routed to a network of independent GPUs instead of a single premium vendor.

Why it costs less

Premium APIs price every call at frontier rates, with cloud markup built in before it reaches you. Blue Claw routes your calls to a network of independent GPU operators and exposes them through native OpenAI, Anthropic, and TypeSafe System One routes. Fewer middlemen, lower cost per call, and the exact same request shape your client already speaks.

How routing works

You send a request to an OpenAI, Anthropic, or System One route. Blue Claw picks a healthy operator that serves the model you asked for, sends the job, checks the result, and settles payment. If an operator is slow or unavailable, the request fails over to another one. From your side it looks like a normal API call with a normal response.

Blue Claw forwards each protocol as it is and doesn't translate between them. Each model lists the endpoints it supports, so an Anthropic client needs a model that lists /v1/messages, and a TypeSafe client needs a decision model, which lists only /v1/systemone.

Real-time and async

Interactive calls run in real time, which is what you want for coding and research loops. For heavier work that can trade a little latency for lower cost, durable async jobs with polling, retries, and budget ceilings are in development.

What you can run

Available today:

  • Chat, Responses, and Messages, including streaming.
  • Embeddings for search, RAG, and indexing.
  • Image generation on open image models.
  • Text-to-speech and speech-to-text.

In development: durable async jobs, chained workflows, and video AI tools.

What to route, what to keep

The win is putting your high-volume, repetitive work on Blue Claw and keeping premium APIs for the handful of calls that truly need frontier quality. A few examples:

  • Code review loops: run the repeat checks and summaries on Blue Claw; keep final judgment calls on a premium model.
  • Inbox triage: classify, summarize, and draft on Blue Claw; hand off sensitive replies.
  • Meeting notes: transcribe, summarize, and extract actions on Blue Claw; polish the client-ready version elsewhere.
  • Document and index jobs: embeddings and repeat summaries on Blue Claw; reserve high-stakes analysis for premium calls.

Trust and privacy

Blue Claw doesn't store prompts, inputs, or outputs. It sends work to a decentralized set of worker nodes run by independent operators, who can see and may log what's sent. A vendor-marked model also sends it to that vendor, named on the model. Billing and usage facts stay in a permanent log tied only to an account ID. There is no TEE, E2EE, or confidential-compute guarantee yet, so review sensitive or regulated workloads before using the service. See the privacy policy for details.
