OpenAI-Compatible APIs: Migrate to EU-Hosted Models in 30 Minutes

How to switch your OpenAI SDK calls to CIPHER TECH without changing your application logic.

The fastest way to de-risk your AI stack is to change one line of code. CIPHER TECH exposes a standard OpenAI-compatible REST endpoint, so existing SDK clients work with minimal configuration.

import OpenAI from 'openai';
const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.CIPHER_API_KEY,
  baseURL: 'https://api.itciphtech.com/v1'
});

Once the base URL is updated, every chat completion, embedding, and streaming request routes through our EU infrastructure. You keep the same response formats and the same retry logic.

Model aliases

We map common OpenAI model names to equivalent or better-performing alternatives hosted in the EU. You can also address models directly by slug for full control.

In our dashboard, you can A/B test latency and cost before committing to a switch.

Put this into practice.

Every model in the catalog is reachable through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, from EU infrastructure.
