Cheaper Inference

Cheaper Inference aggregates excess inference capacity from major AI providers and passes the savings to developers through a single OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. The service supports chat completions, image generation, vision input, streaming, and reasoning models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI.
