Sick of API providers secretly downgrading models, routing through cheap proxies, or injecting fake responses? checkfakeapi gives you full visibility into your AI API relays. Easily test response fidelity, latency, and real model architecture to ensure you’re getting exactly what you pay for—100% free and open-source. Stop guessing, start auditing!
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m the maker of checkfakeapi.
A while ago, while building our AI products, we noticed something fishy—our model responses felt sluggish, outputs were noticeably lower quality, and latency spiked unpredictably. After digging into our API relay network, we realized we were paying top dollar for model routing that was secretly downgraded, proxy-wrapped, or artificially delayed.
We looked for an open, instant tool to continuously audit relay fidelity—and couldn’t find one. So we built checkfakeapi.
What checkfakeapi helps you do:
🔍 Verify Real Model Identity: Detect hidden model downgrades & fake API wrappers.
⚡ Benchmark True Latency: Measure raw proxy overhead vs. pure provider response time.
🛡️ Audit Stream Quality: Catch dropped frames, bad tokens, and injection hacks.
💻 100% Free : No tracking, no paywalls, zero setup needed.
We built this for developers, prompt engineers, and tech leads who care about response reliability and cost transparency.
Question for the PH community: Have you ever caught your API provider silently downgrading models or routing through bad proxies? What tools or tricks do you currently use to audit your AI stack?
