Does Curtly support OpenAI streaming with GPT 6 Astra?

Yes. Curtly natively supports Server-Sent Events (SSE) streaming, forwarding compressed chunks with sub-millisecond overhead.

Can I use Curtly with the official OpenAI Node and Python SDKs?

Yes. You only pass baseURL="https://proxy.curtly.dev/v1" and your Curtly API key in defaultHeaders.

Why GPT 6 Astra generates high API invoices

GPT 6 Astra offers advanced multimodal and agent capabilities, but recursive tool execution and 5x output multipliers ($50.00/1M) generate massive token velocity. Unchecked tool call returns and repetitive system prompts quickly inflate inference budgets.

Recursive tool loop context bloat

Each function execution appends previous tool outputs back into the conversation context, leading to polynomial token growth across agent runs.

Expensive generation multiplier

Output tokens cost $50.00/1M compared to $10.00/1M for input tokens. Repetitive explanations and commentary add significant unnecessary cost.

Excessive schema and type verbosity

TypeScript definitions and JSON schemas provided in system prompts often contain redundant comments and whitespace that consume billable tokens.

OpenAI o200k_base tokenization profile

Efficiency rating: Highly efficient vocabulary with 200k tokens

The o200k_base tokenizer features a large 200,000 vocabulary size that compresses code and English text efficiently, but remains vulnerable to repetitive boilerplate and conversational filler.
