# EmberCloud

> EmberCloud specializes in fast, affordable inference for Chinese frontier models — GLM, MiniMax, Kimi, and Qwen — through an OpenAI-compatible API.

EmberCloud offers 8 models through Lava's AI Gateway, supporting Chat Completions. Authentication uses `Authorization: Bearer`. See the [EmberCloud API docs](https://www.embercloud.ai/docs) for provider-specific parameters.

<Info>Supports both **managed** (Lava's API keys) and **unmanaged** (bring your own credentials) mode.</Info>

## Quick Start

```typescript theme={null}
const response = await fetch('https://api.lava.so/v1/forward?u=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.embercloud.ai%2Fv1%2Fchat%2Fcompletions', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    Authorization: `Bearer ${forwardToken}`,
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    model: 'minimax-m2.5',
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
  }),
});
```
