Show HN: 1endpoint – Cheaper access to AI models

1endpoint, a new API gateway, offers access to multiple AI models through a single endpoint with usage-based pricing, starting at $0.0420 per 1M input tokens for GLM 5.2. The service includes prompt caching, spend tracking, and claims never to downgrade models, allowing developers to switch models without rewriting integrations.

Message 12 of a conversation costs 3.7× less than it would without cache — because every message resends everything before it, and we charge full price only for the part that is new. GLM 5.2 rates, USD per 1M tokens — a cache hit is billed at 5× less than a miss. Illustration: a conversation of 12 messages, each one request that adds 10,000 input and 1,000 output tokens and resends everything before it, priced per 1,000 requests. Token counts are illustrative; the rates are published. Cache ratio differs per model. Spend less on every token. Pay only for what you use. Input starts at $0.0420 per 1M tokens — lower cache rates are applied automatically, per model. Usage-based pricing · 1,000 credits = $1
