🚀 v1.1.0 — Multimodal & Unified Billing Expansion

May 2025

The ChatboxAI API has been significantly upgraded to support multimodal operations natively, all unified under our real-time credit billing system.

New Features:

• Images & Vision Endpoint (POST /api/v1/images/generations): Generate images programmatically using FLUX (Schnell/Dev) and Stable Diffusion models. Supports multiple sizes, quality settings, and dynamic provider fallbacks.
• Audio & Speech Endpoint (POST /api/v1/audio/speech): Convert text to natural-sounding speech using Google TTS REST API (with automatic fallback to OpenAI TTS). Features 9 high-quality voices and multi-language support.
• Responses API (POST /api/v1/responses): A new, streamlined endpoint that wraps chat completions. It simplifies requests (input, instructions) and returns a cleaner, structured response format. Perfect for standard interactions where raw OpenAI message arrays feel too heavy.

Infrastructure:

• Credit-Based Billing: Replaced isolated token tracking with a unified USD credit system. Text, Image, and Audio generations now smoothly deduct from a single balance. Real-time cost is exposed in all API responses.
• Documentation Overhaul: The developer portal has been entirely restructured. We've added comprehensive quickstarts, deep-dive guides into prompting, and exact pricing breakdowns.

v1.0.1 — Usage Analytics & Rate Limiting

April 2025

Improvements:

• Usage Analytics Dashboard: Track your API consumption with detailed analytics in the dashboard. View token usage, cost breakdowns by model, and endpoint usage distribution.
• Rate Limit Headers: All API responses now include detailed standard rate limit information so you can handle backoff programmatically:
  • X-RateLimit-Limit-Requests
  • X-RateLimit-Remaining-Requests
  • X-RateLimit-Limit-Tokens
  • X-RateLimit-Remaining-Tokens
  • X-RateLimit-Reset-In

v1.0.0 — Platform Launch

Initial Release:

• Universal Gateway: Launched the POST /api/v1/chat/completions endpoint with 100% OpenAI SDK compatibility.
• Provider Agnostic: Automatic routing and fallback between Groq, OpenRouter, Google, and OpenAI based on health and latency.
