API Documentation

Choose your preferred API style. We support native, OpenAI-compatible, and Claude-compatible endpoints.

Model names (e.g., gpt-3.5-turbo, claude-3-5-sonnet) automatically map to equivalent open-source models (Mistral, Llama, Phi-3) for seamless compatibility.

Endpoint: POST /api/v1/chat/completions

Drop-in replacement for OpenAI. Just change the base URL.

Python
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",

Simple, token-based pricing

Pay only for tokens processed. No GPU rental, no container runtime billing, no surprise infra invoices.

Comparable to GPT-4o-mini for most everyday tasks. Cheaper than Groq, Together, and Fireworks for long-running use cases.

Enable privacy mode to ensure we do not store prompt or output bodies. No model training on your data when privacy mode is enabled.
