Serverless, decentralized inference for open-source AI models
Drop-in compatibility means you change the base URL and key, and your existing OpenAI-style SDK code keeps working.
Run LLMs, image, video, speech, music, embedding, and moderation models, or bring your own code and fintune-style workloads.
Models are held permanently warm, so production traffic does not wait for a container to spin up.
Selected models run inside trusted execution environments for private, isolated inference.
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.
