Release notes: v1.0 launch build

Everything that ships in the launch build: crypto top-ups, route pinning, live pricing, usage analytics, the legal pack, and the full model catalog.

The complete feature set shipping with today's launch.

Payments

  • Crypto top-ups via NOWPayments — pay with any of 200+ currencies, credits land automatically after on-chain confirmation (usually 1–3 minutes).
  • Prepaid credits in USD. Minimum $5, no maximum subscriptions, nothing recurring.
  • Per-key spend limits; revoke any key instantly.

Catalog & pricing

  • 230+ models with live route pricing — every model card shows input/output price, the vendor list price crossed out, and the exact percentage you save.
  • Real context windows sourced from vendor data, not guesses.
  • Route status (online/offline) per model, refreshed live.
  • Per-model route pinning per API key: pick your upstream when auto isn't what you want.

Playground

  • Chat with any model, billed like a normal API call.
  • Temperature, max tokens and reasoning effort controls.
  • File attachments for context, streaming responses, per-message cost badges.
  • Chat history stored locally, nothing server-side.

Analytics

  • Daily usage charts (requests, input/output tokens).
  • Spend by model, with live prices.
  • Recent activity with pagination and full request detail.
  • Per-model latency and tokens-per-second, computed from your own request history.

Legal

  • Full pack in the legal center: Terms, Privacy (GDPR), Acceptable Use, Refunds, Security, AI & Provider Policy, and a DPA — each downloadable as PDF.

Under the hood

  • OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint with streaming.
  • Rate limiting on auth, chat and billing endpoints.
  • Session security: JWT sessions, hardened cookies, no password auth on SSH.

NewToken is the cheapest unified AI API — browse 230+ models or create an account.
