Switch from OpenAI in 2 lines - Corvex

If you already use the official OpenAI client, switching to Corvex is a two-line change: set your Corvex virtual key as the API key and point the base URL at Corvex. Everything else — request shape, response shape, streaming, tools, models — stays the same.

The examples below are copy-paste runnable: set OPENAI_API_KEY to your virtual key (sk-corvex-...) and the script makes one real /v1/chat/completions call against https://api.tokenfactory.corvex.cloud.

The 2-line swap

import os

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"],
    base_url="https://api.tokenfactory.corvex.cloud/v1",
)
print(client.chat.completions.create(
    model="zai-org/GLM-5.2-FP8",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Corvex."}],
).choices[0].message.content)

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://api.tokenfactory.corvex.cloud/v1",
});
console.log((await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "zai-org/GLM-5.2-FP8",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello, Corvex." }],
})).choices[0].message.content);

The highlighted lines are the only difference from a stock OpenAI client call. No new SDK, no custom auth header — Corvex uses Authorization: Bearer, just like OpenAI.

Run it

# Python
pip install openai
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-corvex-your-virtual-key
python python.py

# Node (requires Node 18+ for native fetch + top-level await)
npm install openai
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-corvex-your-virtual-key
node node.mjs

A successful run prints the model’s reply to stdout. Any non-200 response throws — the OpenAI SDKs raise APIError (Python) or OpenAI.APIError (Node) with the gateway’s structured error body.

Model naming

Corvex uses bare lab-canonical Hugging Face repo ids for every model (e.g. zai-org/GLM-5.2-FP8, moonshotai/Kimi-K2.7-Code). There is no Corvex prefix — just send the bare model id. Serving topology is handled server-side; you never encode it in the request. List the models your virtual key can access:

curl https://api.tokenfactory.corvex.cloud/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-corvex-YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY"
