Claude alternatives
Route Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku alongside GPT, DeepSeek, Qwen and Kimi through one OpenAI-compatible gateway. Pay per token, no code rewrites.
For every model, we map to the closest in-class equivalent.
Sonnet 4.6 (also on Thalam) delivers ~98% of Opus performance for most workloads. DeepSeek V4 Pro is the open-weight alternative with comparable reasoning.
Qwen carries the strongest Arabic support in the catalog. V4 Pro is the open-weight option when Arabic isn’t the priority.
Low-latency general model with 1M context. Suited to high-volume customer-facing chat.
Change base_url and your API key. Every OpenAI SDK works unchanged.
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.thalam.ai/v1",
api_key="tl-live-...", # your Thalam key
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek/deepseek-v3.2",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
