Chorus Integration

AVELIN API is compatible with Chorus — macOS desktop app providing unified access to multiple AI models. Chorus works seamlessly with AVELIN's OpenAI-compatible API endpoint.

Why AVELIN + Chorus? Access AVELIN's frontier models with 1M-token context windows, automatic failover, and competitive pricing through a polished desktop interface.

Chorus is a macOS-native desktop app that gives you a single unified interface to talk to multiple AI providers at once. Rather than bouncing between different apps or browser tabs for different models, Chorus lets you send the same prompt to several models simultaneously and compare their responses side-by-side in real time. It's built specifically for macOS — not a web wrapper — so you get native performance, proper window management, and system integration.

The killer feature is side-by-side model comparison: ask a question once and watch three or four models answer it in parallel. This is invaluable when you're evaluating which model handles your use case best, or when you want a second opinion on a complex answer without re-typing anything. It's for Mac users who work with multiple AI providers daily and are tired of the tab-switching dance.
