Interfaze vs OpenAI

How do you switch from OpenAI to Interfaze?

Because Interfaze implements the OpenAI chat-completions API, switching is not a rewrite — you change three strings: the base URL to Interfaze's endpoint, the API key, and the model to interfaze-beta. Your messages, your response_format schema, and the rest of your code stay exactly the same.

The change

  • baseURL → https://api.interfaze.ai/v1
  • apiKey → your Interfaze key
  • model → "interfaze-beta"
  • Everything else — SDK, messages, schema, parsing — stays identical.

What comes back that's new

You get the same structured answer, plus a precontext array carrying per-field confidence and bounding boxes — metadata the OpenAI response never included.

What to watch

Interfaze runs OCR internally, so expect more input tokens and higher latency per call than a raw general model. That's the trade for verifiable output; budget for it on high-volume paths.

FAQ

Do I need a new SDK to use Interfaze?

No. Keep the OpenAI SDK and point it at Interfaze's base URL with your Interfaze key.
