OpenAI-compatible API gateway for AI builders.
Gateway Labs provides a lightweight API gateway for developers testing DeepSeek models through a Hong Kong endpoint. Start with simple onboarding, a separate test key and controlled usage.
Available Models
The following DeepSeek models are currently available for limited early-access testing.
deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash
Fast and lower-cost model for testing, lightweight tools and simple agent workflows.
deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro
Higher-quality model for more demanding development tasks and structured workflows.
deepseek/deepseek-r1
Reasoning-focused model for evaluation, complex prompts and deeper problem solving.
Designed for Early Testing
The current MVP prioritizes controlled testing and straightforward onboarding rather than a complex dashboard.
OpenAI-compatible Interface
Use a familiar request format with a compatible base URL and Authorization header.
Manual Onboarding
Each test key is generated separately to control usage, expiration and feedback collection.
Developer Support
Early-access testers can contact Gateway Labs for setup help and compatibility troubleshooting.
Quick Start
Selected testers receive an individual test key after review.
Replace YOUR_TEST_KEY with the key assigned to you.
How Early Access Works
Access is reviewed manually while the MVP is being validated with a small number of developers.
