Synthetic API key setup
Privacy-focused AI platform offering private access to multiple open-source models. Founded by ex-Instagram/Meta engineers. Preferred by OpenClaw users.
Disclosure: the sign-up link in step 1 is a partner link — Dracon may earn a commission when you create an account through it. It never changes the price you pay, and Synthetic's own site is always reachable directly at synthetic.new.
Get your key
- Open the Synthetic site: synthetic.new/?referral=jZf4j0Q6MdfmH6d partner link
- Create an account and generate an API key.
- Paste it into the Dracon BYOK provider keys — stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM), used browser-direct, works in every Dracon tool.
Free tier
No recurring free tier advertised as of the last check. Usage is billed per the provider's listed pricing — you pay them directly, no Dracon markup.
Rate limits: Varies by plan

Gotchas
Browser-direct chat is not available for this provider: We haven't verified its chat endpoints yet.. Dracon provider keys still cover it for tools that run elsewhere (for example a LiteLLM chain from the Dracon Router builder).
