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.
The AI developer cloud for GPU pods, serverless inference and clustering
Rent GPU instances with on-demand, interruptible or reserved capacity across more than 30 GPU SKUs, from RTX 4090s up to B200 and B300 class accelerators, deployed in 31 global regions.
Deploy any container as an API endpoint that scales from zero to thousands of workers on demand and bills only for the compute you actually use.
Launch multi-node GPU clusters for distributed training and large inference jobs, with shared storage attachable and no long-term commitment required.
Deploy popular open-source models from a curated hub, or use public endpoints for image, audio and text models without managing infrastructure.
