gpt-6-astra answers on the OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so anything that accepts an OPENAI_BASE_URL — Codex, Cline, Continue, Aider, Open WebUI, the OpenAI SDKs — needs the base URL, a key, and this model ID. Setup guides per tool.

Replace sk-your-key with a key from the console. Model IDs are bare names — see the docs.

What a real coding session costs

Per-token price tables mislead for agentic coding. A focused two-hour Claude Code session re-sends its context on every request, so 88% of its tokens are cache reads rather than fresh input — and the cache rate, not the headline input price, decides most of the bill. Priced at gpt-6-astra's live rates, that session costs $6.24 through KoRouter, against $16.88 at OpenAI's official prices.

  • Cache reads · 5M tokens$1.85
  • Fresh input · 250K tokens$0.93
  • Output · 100K tokens$1.85
  • Cache writes · 350K tokens$1.62
  • Session total$6.24

The token mix is a stated assumption, not a measurement — change it and re-price every model in the cost calculator, or read the full worked example in what a real Claude Code session costs. Prices come from the live billing catalog.
