Low-cost serverless inference APIs for 200+ open models
Access text, image, speech, music and video models from multiple families through one consistent API, with task- and family-based browsing.
Per-million-token rates with input, output and cached-input breakdowns shown up front, including current discounts on many models.
Rent data-center GPUs by the instance-hour when you need raw compute for fine-tuning, custom serving or burst workloads.
Inputs and outputs are not retained, and the platform holds SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications for information security.
Open infrastructure and one API for generative AI builders
Reach image, video, speech, music and text models through a single endpoint, so a project can mix modalities without stitching together multiple providers.
Many generations work straight from a URL in the browser, which makes it easy to prototype, embed in a webpage or drop into a script.
A web playground lets you test prompts and models interactively before wiring them into your application.
A gallery of apps built by the community shows what others have shipped on the API and gives builders starting points.
