Playground
Open Inference → Playground. Playground sends a probe for one selected route straight to its upstream, so you can verify URLs, credentials, and upstream model names without using a customer sk-… on the normal billing path.
It does not create the same request log stream as production traffic, does not debit user budgets, and does not fully mirror multi-route failover inside a route group — validate that with real Proxy calls or Simulator.
How to use it
Section titled “How to use it”- Open Playground.
- Choose one route from the dropdown (icons indicate enabled vs disabled).
- Edit the JSON body for the current protocol; start from the built-in templates if helpful.
- Send and read status, errors, and body; check response headers for latency-style hints when troubleshooting.
Versus Simulator
Section titled “Versus Simulator”| Tool | Typical goal |
|---|---|
| Playground | Ops/dev: single route → upstream wiring check |
| Simulator | Real sk-… from the browser to the Proxy — auth, routing, budget, logs |
