DeepInfra

What is DeepInfra?

DeepInfra is an AI inference cloud that runs open-source models on its own hardware in US data centers and serves them through one API. The OpenAI-compatible endpoint covers more than 100 language models, plus vision and OCR, embeddings and rerankers, image and video generation such as FLUX and Stable Diffusion, and Whisper speech recognition and text-to-speech. Switching from OpenAI takes a base URL change in your existing SDK. Language models are billed per token, other models by inference time, and there are no contracts, minimums or seat fees. For teams that need isolation, you can deploy your own fine-tuned model on a dedicated A100, H100, H200, B200 or B300 GPU with autoscaling, rent GPU clusters with SSH access, or start managed Hosted Agents billed by the hour. DeepInfra states a zero-retention policy and SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification. Example prices include DeepSeek-V4-Flash at $0.09 per million input tokens and $0.18 per million output tokens.

Use cases

• Call open LLMs through an OpenAI-compatible API
• Generate embeddings for search and RAG
• Transcribe audio with hosted Whisper models
• Deploy a fine-tuned model on a dedicated GPU
• Rent a GPU cluster for training
• Generate images and video with open models
• Compare per-token prices across open models

Who it's for

• Application developers
• ML engineers
• Startups
• Enterprise AI teams

Why use DeepInfra

• You avoid managing GPUs because models run behind a standard API with no idle GPU time to pay for.
• Existing OpenAI SDK code works after changing the base URL, so migration is quick.
• Input and output prices appear on each model, which makes cost comparison simple.
• Text, speech, image, video and embedding models sit in one account instead of several vendors.
• Zero retention and dedicated deployments help with privacy and compliance reviews.

How to get started with DeepInfra

1. Sign up at deepinfra.com and create an API key in the Dashboard.
2. Browse the model catalog and pick a model for text, embeddings, speech, image or video.
3. Point the OpenAI SDK at https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai, or use the native API, and send your first request.
4. Watch usage in the Dashboard, and move to a dedicated GPU deployment or cluster when you need isolation or custom weights.

DeepInfra limitations

• Serves mostly open and third-party models rather than a single in-house model
• Model lineup and prices change often, so check the pricing page
• Hosted Agent instances that exceed their plan's included transfer may be temporarily paused
• Hosted Agents bill compute by the hour plus separate inference token costs

DeepInfra pricing

DeepInfra has no free plan.

Prices can change and may vary by country or exclude tax. Check the official pricing page.
