When to pick unoblox for Claude Code
You're a good fit if you're using Claude Code to:
- Build with open-source models (Qwen, Llama, DeepSeek) instead of only Claude
- Avoid foreign-card billing friction on a recurring developer tool
- Claim GST input tax credit on your AI tooling spend
- Get one monthly invoice across every model, instead of separate vendor bills
You don't have to pick one model forever — keep Claude wired up for the hardest refactors and route routine edits, boilerplate, and test-writing to a cheaper open model, all through the same /v1/messages endpoint.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Will my scripts break?
No. Claude Code and your local agentic runners use the same /v1/messages spec. Swap URL and key, test one invocation, run.
Q: Which models does Claude Code support through unoblox?
Any model on unoblox's /v1/messages endpoint — Qwen, DeepSeek, Claude, GPT, and Llama variants. Pick per task based on the speed/cost tradeoff you need.
Q: How do I switch back to Claude's own API?
Reverse the two settings: endpoint back to api.anthropic.com, key to your Anthropic key, model to your usual Claude model. Takes about a minute.
Q: Do I get an invoice? Yes. Every call generates a line on your monthly GST invoice, and you can claim input tax credit on it. Export invoices anytime from the dashboard.
Q: How fast is the gateway? Latency is dominated by the model you choose, not the network — unoblox serves from Asia-based infrastructure with no international hop added on top.
Q: Can I use tool use / function calling?
Yes. /v1/messages supports tools, JSON mode, and streaming — no API changes needed beyond the base URL and key.
