WaveSpeed Alternative: OneAster
WaveSpeed is a strong choice when you need fast inference for a specific image or video model. OneAster takes a different angle: one gateway for text, image, video and audio behind four native protocols, where every published model carries verified parameters, prices and usage evidence — and every cent moves through a per-task ledger you can export.
中文摘要
中文摘要：如果你在为图片/视频模型寻找更全面的聚合网关，OneAster 提供文本、图片、视频、音频四类模型与四种原生协议（OpenAI Chat/Responses、Anthropic Messages、Gemini），并额外提供 /v1/embeddings 向量端点。
每个型号上线前经过验收制质量门禁（参数、价格、用量证据核验），资金按“报价预留—实耗结算—余款释放”的透明台账逐任务记账，支持 CSV 导出；界面支持 12 种语言。我们是新平台，型号陆续上线，页面上如实标注预览状态。迁移三步：改 base URL（OpenAI 兼容客户端用 https://api.oneaster.ai/v1，Anthropic 客户端用 https://api.oneaster.ai）、换密钥、跑通一次请求。
How we compare, honestly
WaveSpeed is high-speed inference platform focused on image and video generation models. The table below is what we can verify from our side; vendor features change, so confirm anything decision-critical on their site. Last reviewed 2026-10.
| WaveSpeed | OneAster | |
|---|---|---|
| Protocols 协议接入 | REST API optimised for media generation | 4 native: OpenAI Chat & Responses, Anthropic Messages, Google Gemini, plus async /v1/tasks |
| Modalities 模型类别 | Image and video models | Text, image, video, audio and embeddings in one catalog |
| Vector endpoint 向量端点 | — | OpenAI-style /v1/embeddings (string inputs, dimensions, encoding_format) |
| Quality gate 质量门禁 | You pick the model and verify outputs yourself | Acceptance-based: a model publishes only after its parameters, prices and usage evidence pass verification |
| Cost transparency 资金透明 | Speed-optimised GPU pricing tiers | Per-task reserve/settle ledger; quote before the run, refund of the unused reserve, CSV export |
| Interface languages 界面语言 | English UI | 12 languages, including RTL Arabic |
| Maturity (honest) 成熟度（如实） | Established media-inference focus | New platform (v0.7.x); models roll out progressively, preview states are labelled |

Migrating in three steps · 迁移三步
Point your client at OneAster
把 base URL 指向 OneAster
OpenAI-compatible clients point at https://api.oneaster.ai/v1 (OpenAI SDK: baseURL). Anthropic SDK clients use https://api.oneaster.ai — the SDK appends /v1/messages itself. Codex/Claude Code: set the provider wire API as documented.
Swap in a OneAster key
替换为 OneAster 密钥
Create an account, generate a key (oa-…) in the console and send it as Authorization: Bearer. Keys carry per-key spend limits.
Run one request end to end
跑通一次请求
List models with GET /v1/models, run one chat or task, then check the quote, settlement and ledger entry in the console. That entry is your reconciliation baseline.
FAQ
Do I have to rewrite my application to migrate?
If your client speaks the OpenAI Chat Completions, Responses, Anthropic Messages or Gemini shape, no — OpenAI-shaped clients point at https://api.oneaster.ai/v1, Anthropic and Gemini clients at https://api.oneaster.ai; swap the key and run one request end to end. Media generation moves to the async /v1/tasks API with per-task quotes.
How is billing different?
Each request reserves its quoted maximum, confirmed usage is charged and the unused reserve is released. Every entry lands in a ledger you can export as CSV, so cost reconciliation is a join, not a guess. New accounts receive a welcome credit; the amount is set by the platform.
Which models can I run today?
The public catalog lists every model with availability state, verified parameters and price. Text, image, video, audio and embedding models are rolling in progressively — anything still in preview is labelled as preview, not silently broken.
Is OneAster production-ready?
It is a young platform (v0.7.x) and we say so. What is already in place: acceptance-based publication gates, idempotency keys, a public status page and a settlement ledger. Evaluate it against your workload, not our marketing.
