Pricing modelPaid Freemium
PricingStarter plan is free with $30/month compute credits. Team plan is $250/month plus compute. Enterprise plan is custom. Compute is billed per second for CPU, GPU, and memory with no charges for idle time. Free plan at $0 USD; Pro plan at $5 USD per month.
Key features
  • Serve LLMs, image, video, and audio models
  • Isolated environments for coding agents and RL rollouts
  • Fine-tune and train models on GPUs
  • Autoscale compute from zero to thousands of GPUs
  • Distributed storage for models and weights
  • Global capacity across 20+ clouds
  • Serverless functions with HTTPS endpoints
  • Out-of-the-box observability and logs
  • Entity-graph spreading activation for cross-vocabulary retrieval
  • Works with any LLM model
  • No LLM or GPU in retrieval path
  • Point-in-time and windowed recall
  • Timestamped memories
  • Fixed recall cost as memory grows
What makes it different
  • Custom infrastructure built for AI including container runtime, storage, and scheduler
  • Sub-second container startup times for GPU workloads
  • Pay only by the second with no idle charges
  • Programmatically create millions of concurrent sandboxes
  • Reaches answers across unrelated documents that share no keywords, where vector search scores zero
  • Deterministic retrieval with no model in the path, so results never vary between queries
  • Constant per-query cost regardless of memory size, even at 32,000 words
  • No infrastructure to run—no vector database, cluster, or GPU needed
  • Works with any model, so small local models gain the most from better retrieval
