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.
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.
