Using this model through Conduix
Call it by its id, or let a routing alias pick it as part of a governed, cross-provider chain with automatic failover.
grok-4.3Reached by these routing aliases:
frontier-fastfallback #3 · Claude Sonnet 5 → GPT-5.4 → Gemini 3.5 Flash → Grok 4.3reasoning-fastfallback #1 · Gemini 3.5 Flash → Grok 4.3 → GPT-5.4
Routing relationships are operational — chains adapt to provider availability and your org's policy — not a contractual guarantee that a specific model serves a given request.
Get started
Conduix is OpenAI-API-compatible — point any OpenAI SDK at https://api.conduix.ai/v1 and pass grok-4.3 as the model.
from conduix import Conduix
client = Conduix(api_key="cx_live_YOUR_KEY") # base URL is built in
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="grok-4.3",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Conduix!"}],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)- Tool calling: Pass a tools array and the model calls your functions.
- Vision: Accepts image inputs — add image_url parts to a message.
- Reasoning: Reasons step-by-step — best for hard, multi-step problems.
- JSON mode: Set response_format for guaranteed-valid JSON output.
- Prompt cache: Repeated prompt context is billed at a reduced rate.
The response's x-conduix-model-served header tells you exactly which model answered. See the quickstart for keys, headers, and usage.
