Russian hosting and cloud provider Beget has added a new service to its control panel called the AI gateway. It gives access to several large language models through a single API that follows the OpenAI format. Switching models does not require rewriting the integration: the code stays the same and only the model name in the request changes.
Billing is pay-as-you-go: the price depends on the model and is counted in input and output tokens, charged to the same balance that pays for hosting or a VPS. To avoid surprise bills, each API key can be given a monthly spending cap.
What it is for
Beget lists four main use cases, and nearly all of them matter to people who build websites and bots:
- chatbots and assistants for customer support or internal tasks
- AI features inside a product: text generation, summaries, answering questions
- automation: parsing and classifying data in scripts
- quick prototypes and MVPs without your own AI infrastructure
The company says customers increasingly run their own AI agents, and wiring up models one by one is slow and awkward for a small team or a freelancer.
How to start
The service is already live in the Beget panel. The flow is simple: pick a model, create an API key and send a request. Because the format is OpenAI-compatible, familiar SDKs and ready-made libraries work - in many cases you only need to change the base URL and the key. Detailed spending statistics per key and per model are promised later.
Our take
For small projects this is convenient: one bill, payment in rubles and a cap per key remove several everyday obstacles that make teams postpone AI features. Before moving a production bot, though, compare token prices and the model list with other aggregators and check response speed. Details are in CNews's report.
