Uptime and availability

TTS-1 runs on a single route through the qynio gateway today, so its availability is that provider's availability.

Single route, no failover target within this model.

Name a second model in the same request and the gateway tries it on retriable errors, so a busy hour never has to reach your users. .

Measured over the last 30 days from each provider's official status feed via StatusGator. Refreshed hourly. See uptime for every provider qynio monitors.

Data handling per route

Each route hosting TTS-1 has its own privacy posture, residency, and no-KYC terms. Postures are maintained by qynio with a last-verification timestamp.

Get started

Call TTS-1 through the qynio gateway with one API key. Let your coding agent set it up, or call it directly β€” qynio is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI SDKs.

Set it up with your agent

Copy this and paste it into a coding agent like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex and it'll wire up qynio for you.

Or call it directly

import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.QYN_API_KEY,
baseURL: "https://api.qyn.io/v3/compat",
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "openai/tts-1",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
