Ultra-fast AI inference on the LPU and LPX platform
Custom accelerators designed specifically for inference rather than training, tuned for very low latency.
Hosted access to popular open models including Llama, Mixtral, Gemma, and Whisper speech models.
An API broadly compatible with common OpenAI-style request formats for quick integration.
Automatic speech recognition with Whisper plus text-to-speech capabilities for voice applications.
Enterprise developer platform and API for deploying GPT-6 Astra, Sol, Luna, and realtime multimodal agents.
Spanning GPT-6 Astra ($10/$50 per MTok), GPT-6.1 Sol ($2/$10), GPT-6.1 Terra ($1/$5), and GPT-6 Luna ($0.10/$0.50), all with a 1,050,000-token context window and 128K max output.
Tune thinking token budgets per API request across six granularity levels (`none`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, `max`) to balance latency, accuracy, and cost.
Combine model inference with hosted web search, file search, function calling, and autonomous GUI computer-use actions in a single stateful API call.
Build ultra-low-latency multimodal voice agents billed per second ($0.05/minute) without rounding up to whole minutes.
