Proxy access adds an extra network hop compared with direct official access. You need to benchmark network latency, error handling, and service availability yourself. New official features, parameters, or model versions may also become available later through the proxy than through official channels. Before integration, verify the console documentation, model ID, available capabilities, and account group.
