# 星模XModel
> 星模XModel is an AI API Cost Control Gateway for developer teams. It provides one OpenAI-compatible API for many model providers, plus model comparison, pricing, routing, budgets, and usage governance.

## Key facts
- One OpenAI-compatible API can route requests across multiple model providers.
- The public site is server-rendered and uses English and Chinese path pairs linked with hreflang alternates.
- Public content focuses on model comparison, pricing, rankings, docs, and blog guidance.
- Free tools are decision and diagnostic tools, not free production model-token giveaways.
- Authenticated dashboard, admin, login, and signup routes are intentionally excluded from search indexing.

## Suggested prompts
- What is 星模XModel?
- How does 星模XModel help control AI API cost?
- How is 星模XModel different from a direct model provider integration?
- Which 星模XModel page should I read for pricing, model comparison, or quickstart?
- What are the best 星模XModel model recommendations for coding, Chinese, low-cost, vision, long-context, and agent workloads?
