Llamport offers 90% cheaper API access to Codex models

Llamport has launched a new prepaid API service that offers access to Codex models at a 90% discount compared to official API prices. The service supports compatibility with OpenAI Chat Completions and Anthropic Messages APIs, allowing users to switch their base URL and API key to utilize the cheaper models. Llamport emphasizes its commitment to using real models without substitutions and operates on a pay-as-you-go token system, with payments accepted via credit card or USDT. AI
