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.

Open-source AI gateway with observability and evals built in
Route to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Qwen and many other models through a single API key and one OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Keep your existing OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain or Vercel AI SDK code and change only the base URL.
Automatic fallbacks, retries and load balancing across providers and API keys keep requests answering when a single provider rate-limits or fails.
Every call is logged and traceable, with evaluation tooling and a CLI so you can query logs and traces from your terminal.
