OpenAI shipped GPT-5 and GPT-5-mini, Anthropic launched Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4, Google&rsquo;s Gemini 2.5 Pro is widely available, and Chinese models like DeepSeek-V4, Qwen3-235B, and GLM-5 are evolving at breakneck speed.</p> <p>As a developer, you probably face these pain points:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Multiple providers, multiple API Keys</strong> — management overhead is real</li> <li>A model hits <strong>rate limits or goes down</strong> and your service breaks</li> <li>Different tasks suit different models, but <strong>manual switching is tedious</strong></li> <li><strong>Costs spiral</strong> when you use expensive models for simple tasks</li> </ul> <p><strong>The solution: XiDao API Gateway (<a href="https://global.xidao.online" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">global.xidao.online</a>)</strong></p>
