AllocateWhat is an OpenAI-compatible API?
An OpenAI-compatible API implements the same request and response format as OpenAI’s chat completions endpoint, so any existing client, SDK, or framework works by changing only the base URL and key. It has become the de facto standard wire for inference, making model platforms interchangeable at the code level.
Compatibility is what makes routing painless: your code keeps speaking one dialect while the platform serves any model behind it, open or closed.
Allocate’s endpoint is fully compatible, including streaming and tool calls, so migrating an existing product is a configuration change rather than a rewrite.
