Hey Product Hunt! I'm the solo developer behind Green Token 👋
The problem: I was spending way too much on AI APIs for my side projects. OpenAI's pricing is brutal for indie devs, and managing
separate accounts for DeepSeek, Qwen, and other providers was a nightmare.
The insight: Northwest China has massive wind and solar farms with electricity costs 5x lower than US/EU data centers. What if we could
build an API gateway there — cheaper AND greener?
What Green Token does: One API key → 16+ models. Same OpenAI SDK you already use. Pay with Stripe, get your key instantly, start
building. Every token comes with a verified green energy certificate.
The numbers:
- 10x cheaper than OpenAI ($15 = 2M tokens vs. $150+)
- 16+ models behind a single endpoint
- Smart routing with automatic failover
- 5-minute response cache saves even more tokens
This is early stage — I launched the MVP 2 weeks ago. Looking for:
1. Early users who can stress-test the API
2. Feedback on pricing and model selection
3. Ideas for new features
Tech details for the curious: Node.js gateway with circuit breaker (3 consecutive failures → 5min cooldown), LRU cache (1000 entries,
5min TTL), automatic health checks every 30 seconds, and real SSE streaming with token counting.
Happy to answer any questions! Roast my landing page, suggest models to add, ask about the green energy setup — I'm here for all of it.
