One API, Unlimited Possibilities: Access GPT-4.1, Claude Opus 4, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and 400+ models without juggling multiple providers.

​
What is Samurai AI?

Samurai AI is your “super-API” for AI. Instead of integrating with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and other providers separately, you get access to all their models through one unified interface — at 50% of the original provider price.

​
Why Samurai AI?

  • 50% Cheaper: Pay half the provider price on every model, every time
  • Instant Model Switching: Change models with one parameter — no code rewrites
  • OpenAI Compatible: Drop-in replacement — just change base_url and go
  • 400+ Models: Chat, audio, embeddings — all in one API
  • Unified Billing: One invoice for all your AI usage

Example: Switching Models

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://www.samuraiapi.in/v1",
    api_key="sk-samurai-YOUR_KEY"
