Los Angeles – October 01, 2026 -- CometAPI now routes access to more than 500 AI models through a single OpenAI-compatible API key, serving over 10,000 active developers with average response times under 400 milliseconds and a 99.9% uptime target.

Platform consolidates fragmented model access into one credential

As AI teams increasingly rely on multiple large language models, image generators, video systems and audio tools, each provider typically requires separate registrations, SDKs, billing dashboards and authentication methods. CometAPI CEO Lee Sonic said he built the platform after becoming frustrated with these fragmented integration requirements while testing different AI models as a developer. The company positions itself not as a simple API aggregator but as an infrastructure layer that absorbs model complexity rather than passing it to application developers.
