# Introduction

> Starrise AI is a unified AI model API platform supporting multiple providers.

Starrise AI is a unified AI API platform that gives developers access to the world's top models—covering chat, image generation, and video generation—through a single, consistent interface.

No need to manage separate API keys, SDKs, and authentication flows for each provider. Starrise AI abstracts everything into a unified endpoint. Switch between models from Anthropic, ByteDance, OpenAI, Google, and more by changing a single parameter.

## What Starrise AI Offers

**Unified Access to 100+ Models**
Chat completions, image generation, video generation — all accessible with a single API key, no need to integrate each provider separately.

**OpenAI-Compatible Interface**
Chat models fully conform to the OpenAI API specification. If you're already using the OpenAI SDK, switching to Starrise AI only requires changing the Base URL — no other code changes needed.

**Multimodal Support**
Beyond chat, Starrise AI supports image and video generation models, with provider-specific parameters exposed in a clear, documented way.

**Consistent Error Handling**
Every endpoint returns standardized error codes and message formats regardless of which provider is called underneath, keeping your error handling logic clean.

**Transparent Pricing**
No platform fees, no hidden markups. Chat models are billed per token, media models per generation — you only pay for what you use.
