OpenAI compatibility
A common HTTP API shape that many providers implement so client SDKs are interchangeable.
The OpenAI chat completions API is now the de facto standard for LLM HTTP APIs. Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Together, Groq, and most open-weight inference providers expose an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. This makes provider-agnostic abstractions straightforward (use one client, swap baseURL) but does not eliminate provider-specific features (Claude prompt caching, OpenAI predicted outputs, Gemini grounding).
