CherryIN

CherryIN is a unified LLM API gateway that aggregates models from more than 30 providers behind one OpenAI-compatible interface. The pitch is simple: developers replace their BASE URL with CherryIN's endpoint and immediately gain access to a wide catalog of models, including frontier chat models, image generation, audio speech and transcription, embeddings, and rerank, all through standard API paths such as /v1/chat/completions, /v1/images/generations, /v1/audio/speech, and /v1/embeddings. The platform emphasizes better price and better stability compared to going direct to each provider, and crucially it requires no subscription: users pay as they go for the models they actually consume. CherryIN is built on the open-source New API project, which is a widely used LLM gateway framework, so the underlying system is battle-tested in production deployments. The service includes a console for managing keys and usage, a model marketplace that lists available models and pricing, and documentation that covers getting started, Cherry Studio integration, and Claude Code usage. The platform also periodically offers free models, such as free tier variants of popular models, which are useful for testing and low-cost experimentation, though the company notes that free model availability depends on upstream resources and can change. CherryIN also runs a skill marketplace, extending the gateway concept beyond raw model APIs toward composable AI capabilities. For developers, the value proposition is operational simplicity: one API key, one billing relationship, one consistent interface, and the flexibility to switch models without rewriting code. CherryIN's positioning targets both individual developers and organizations that have grown tired of managing multiple provider accounts, API keys, and billing relationships. The gateway handles authentication, routing, and usage tracking centrally, and its compatibility with the OpenAI API standard means existing code, SDKs, and tools continue to work with minimal changes. The service also supports enterprise-style needs such as consolidated reporting and the ability to switch default models as pricing or quality evolves. Documentation covers quick start guides, Cherry Studio integration, and Claude Code usage, reducing the learning curve for common workflows. The team maintains an active community and support channels, including a WeChat group for Chinese-speaking users, and publishes system notices about model availability changes transparently. For teams building agent-based systems, the skill marketplace adds a layer of composable, pre-built AI capabilities beyond raw model endpoints, positioning CherryIN as an evolving platform rather than a static proxy.
