Choosing an AI API for content generation

What content generation needs

• Natural, on-brand writing
• Reasonable output price
• Control over length and format

Models that fit

Somnus column uses the minimum 2× credit; larger top-ups go further.

Cost example

1,000 requests of about 1,500 input and 400 output tokens on GPT-5.6 Luna cost about $3.90 at list price — roughly $1.95 with Somnus credit.

Tips

• Give two or three examples of your house style.
• Ask for an outline first, then expand the parts you keep.
• Set a max token limit per piece.

Common mistakes

• Generating full drafts you then discard — outline first.
• Publishing without a human fact-check.

Example

from openai import OpenAI
import os

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["SOMNUS_API_KEY"],
    base_url="https://gateway-production-c837.up.railway.app/v1",
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-5",
    messages=[
      {"role": "user", "content": "Write a 100-word product description for a reusable water bottle."}
    ],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
