Kunavo vs calling OpenAI directly

Same GPT-5.4 Mini weights, same responses. What a gateway changes is the account, the SDK and the bill — here is the honest side-by-side.

Go direct to OpenAI when you need a contractual rate limit, an enterprise SLA, or a provider-only feature on day one. Use Kunavo when you want one key, one bill and a lower per-token rate across every provider.

What is GPT-5.4 Mini good for?

What is different from calling OpenAI directly?

What changes is around it: one key and one Stripe balance instead of a OpenAI account with its own billing, the OpenAI SDK with base_url swapped instead of a provider-specific SDK, and the same key also reaching Claude, Gemini, GPT, image, video and audio models. The tradeoff is that gateway capacity is shared — if you need a contractual rate limit or an enterprise SLA on GPT-5.4 Mini specifically, go direct to OpenAI.
