Switch models with one word

To try a new model, change the model name in your request. Your key, balance and code stay the same.

Clear cost for every request

For every request the dashboard shows the model, token counts, time and cost. Prompt caching lowers the cost of text you repeat in every request.

Frequently asked questions

What is Hormouz AI?

An OpenAI-compatible API that gives you more than 600 AI models with one key, paid in rial. In your existing code, set the base URL to api.hormouz.net/v1 and use your Hormouz key.

Do I need a VPN or a foreign card?

No. The Hormouz server is in Iran and makes the connection to the providers itself, and you buy credit with an Iranian bank card.

I already have a ChatGPT or Claude account, or a key from a reseller. How is Hormouz different?

Those accounts and keys are registered to someone at OpenAI or Anthropic, and they get closed when a sign of Iran shows up on them. With Hormouz your account and key are with Hormouz, and you hold no account with those companies.

How do I pay, and do you issue invoices?

In the dashboard under Credit, with an Iranian bank card through an Iranian gateway. The amount is converted to toman at the day's rate, and the receipt lists fees and tax separately. Companies receive an official invoice.

Which tools and libraries does it work with?

Any tool that accepts an OpenAI-compatible API, such as the OpenAI SDK, LangChain, the Vercel AI SDK, and the VS Code and Cursor editors. Tools that only speak Anthropic's or Google's own API, such as Claude Code and Gemini CLI, do not connect to Hormouz.

Do you store the text of my requests?

No. We do not keep the text of requests or responses. Only usage data (model, token counts and cost) is recorded for billing.

What do I get for referring someone to Hormouz?

Until the end of Mehr 1405 (22 October 2026), every top-up by an account created with your referral code adds 2.5% of it to your balance, and another 2.5% to that account's own balance. There is no cap on the number or size of top-ups. After signup, your code is on the Referrals page of the dashboard.

Someone referred me. Where do I enter their code?

In the last step of signup, in the referral code field. You can also sign up without a code.
