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.
One API for fast, cost-predictable inference on LLMs and multimodal models
Access a large catalog of LLMs and multimodal models through a single endpoint, so most existing SDK code works after swapping the base URL and key.
Start with pay-per-use serverless calls, then move to dedicated endpoints, reserved H100/H200/MI300 GPUs or elastic GPU (FaaS) deployment as throughput and cost requirements grow.
Customize supported models on your own data and push the tuned variant to a hosted endpoint without building a training pipeline from scratch.
Transparent rate tables list input, cached-input and output prices per million tokens, plus per-image rates for generation models, making budget planning concrete.
