Migrating to Qwen3 Coder Flash

Coming from OpenAI or another gateway? On an OpenAI-compatible setup the only changes are base_url → https://api.datallmlab.com/v1 and model → qwen/qwen3-coder-flash. Messages, streaming, tool calls and the rest of your code stay the same. Routing & failover guide.

Rate limits & reliability

Rate limits here are the DataLLM Lab gateway's, not the upstream vendor's. On 429 (rate limited) or 503 (provider busy), retry with exponential backoff. See the error-code guide and failover setup.
