SCX Model Discount Extended Through October 9

Two weeks is a short window to move a workload onto a new provider. The SCX model discount was scheduled to end on September 24, 2026. We are extending it by 15 days: 20% off seven selected models through LLM Gateway now runs until October 9, 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC.

Everything else stays the same. Same discount, same seven models, same way to route requests.

What the SCX model discount extension covers

The offer still covers these seven SCX deployments. Each link opens the model's live pricing and API details.

The discounted price shows on each model page while the promotion runs. If you are already sending traffic to SCX, you keep the discount without changing anything. If you started an evaluation this month, the extension gives you a full 30 days at the reduced rate. Browse the SCX provider page for current availability and rates.

Route your requests through SCX

With a pay-as-you-go LLM Gateway API key, choose SCX by adding scx-ai-gp/ before the model ID. Your endpoint and API key stay the same:

1curl https://api.llmgateway.io/v1/chat/completions \2  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LLM_GATEWAY_API_KEY" \3  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \4  -d '{5    "model": "scx-ai-gp/kimi-k3",6    "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Summarize the open issues in this repository." }]7  }'

The discount applies to eligible usage served by SCX during the promotion. If a request falls back to another provider, that provider's rates apply. To require SCX without fallback, add the X-No-Fallback: true header. See the routing guide for details.

Make the most of the extra 15 days

Frequently asked questions

When does the extended SCX model discount end?
The discount now ends October 9, 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC, 15 days after the original September 24 end date. List prices apply after that.
Does the extension change the discount or the eligible models?
No. The same 20% discount applies to the same seven models when they are served through SCX. Requests served by other providers are billed at that provider's rates.
Do I need to change anything to keep the discount?
No. Keep routing requests with the scx-ai-gp provider prefix, such as scx-ai-gp/glm-5.3, and the discounted price applies automatically until the new end date.
