One universal API for 500+ AI models and 1,000+ agentic tools
Call chat, code, image, video, audio, music, embedding, OCR and 3D models from 70+ providers through one API key and one SDK.
Point existing OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini SDK code at AI/ML API and swap models by changing the model string rather than the integration.
An automatic router grades task difficulty and sends easy work to cheap models while escalating hard work to stronger ones.
Give agents live access to Google search, YouTube transcripts, X/Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn jobs and SEO/marketing data sources.
Run, fine-tune, and deploy machine learning models with one line of code
Run image, video, audio, speech, and language models through a uniform API surface, with official models for FLUX, Nano Banana, Seedream, Grok Imagine, MiniMax, Wan, Seedance, and more.
Set up a model in minutes and make an API call in Python, Node, or plain HTTP after authenticating with an API token.
Package your own model with Cog, an open-source tool for packaging machine learning models, and deploy it on dedicated hardware that scales up and down with demand.
Fine-tune models on your own data, including fast-booting fine-tunes that are billed only while actively processing requests rather than for idle time.
