Which APIs can I call qwen3.8-max with?

The price list names these APIs for qwen3.8-max: OpenAI Chat Completions (POST https://api.inferspeed.ai/v1/chat/completions). Authentication: Authorization: Bearer $INFERSPEED_API_KEY (x-api-key also works).

Which API key do I need for qwen3.8-max?

One API key calls every live model, qwen3.8-max included: create a key at https://inferspeed.ai/keys and name the model in the request. Each request is billed at the price of the model that served it.

How do I call qwen3.8-max?

Set the model explicitly in the request:

curl https://api.inferspeed.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $INFERSPEED_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "qwen3.8-max",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say hello in one sentence."}]
  }'

What happens if I request a model my key cannot call?

It is routed to an available model instead of failing: agent default names such as claude-* and gpt-* go to glm-5.3 (kimi-k3 on a Kimi key). The model field and the X-Served-Model header name the model that served the request (the name you sent is in X-Model-Routed-From), and you are billed at that model's price. Send X-Model-Strict: 1 to get an error instead.
