OpenInfer

Inference platform that routes AI workloads across GPUs and serves open-source models through an OpenAI-compatible API.

What is OpenInfer?

OpenInfer is an inference platform that runs AI workloads across mixed compute and exposes them through OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs. Its core product, Loom, pairs GPUs from any cloud or rack, plans where each model should run, routes each request to a GPU that can take it, and proposes a new layout when demand shifts. Operators can give each tenant its own keys, models and usage, and open a token storefront with sign-up, prepaid billing and metering on their own GPUs. OpenInfer Cloud is the company's first-party token service for open-source models, with SLA-aware routing and automatic fallback, and it works with the OpenAI SDK by changing one base URL and key. The company also makes AskJean.ai, an email-based agentic assistant that can run inside a customer's own environment. Cloud was promoted as free through August 31, 2026, so check the site for current token rates.

Use cases

  • Run open-source models through an OpenAI-compatible API
  • Pool GPUs from different clouds and vendors
  • Resell tokens from your own GPU fleet
  • Route requests with fallback to other providers
  • Host private agents that work over email
  • Serve multiple tenants with separate keys

Who it's for

  • Neoclouds and GPU operators
  • AI developers
  • Platform engineers
  • Enterprises

Why use OpenInfer

  • Existing OpenAI SDK code works by changing a base URL and key, so nothing needs rewriting.
  • GPUs from different clouds and vendors can run as one pool instead of stranded capacity.
  • Routing with fallback keeps responses flowing when a GPU or provider drops.
  • Operators can sell tokens to their own customers with metering and prepaid billing.
  • The terms say customer content is not used to train foundation models.

OpenInfer features

  • Pairs GPUs from AWS, GCP, on-prem, NVIDIA and AMD into one pool
  • Plan preview that shows where models will be placed before changes apply
  • Request routing and rebalancing across GPUs
  • OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API gateway
  • Per-tenant keys, models and usage
  • Token storefront with prepaid billing, metering and per-model pricing
  • SLA-aware routing with automatic fallback to providers like OpenAI and Anthropic
  • Setup through a coding-agent prompt or the weave CLI
  • AskJean.ai email-native agent for private deployments

  • AMD

How to get started with OpenInfer

  1. Pair a GPU with the weave CLI, or paste a setup prompt into your coding agent to do it for you.
  2. Choose the models to serve and how much each matters, then review the plan Loom proposes.
  3. Loom places models across your GPUs and routes each request to one that can serve it.
  4. Point your OpenAI or Anthropic SDK at the endpoint with the generated API key.
  5. Optionally add tenants and a token storefront to sell access.

OpenInfer limitations

  • OpenInfer Cloud was advertised as free only through August 31, 2026
  • Self-hosted deployments of the OpenInfer Engine are contracted separately
  • No public price list for tokens or Loom; contact the company

OpenInfer FAQ

How much does OpenInfer cost?

No price list is published for Loom or token rates. OpenInfer Cloud was promoted as free through August 31, 2026, so contact the company for current pricing.

Is there a free plan for OpenInfer?

Only a time-limited offer is listed: OpenInfer Cloud was free through August 31, 2026. Ask the company what applies now.

Does OpenInfer have an API?

Yes. The gateway speaks the OpenAI chat completions format and the Anthropic messages format, so existing SDKs and Claude Code can point to your endpoint.

Can OpenInfer run on my own infrastructure?

Yes. Loom pairs GPUs from any cloud or rack, and the terms mention self-hosted deployments of the OpenInfer Engine where separately contracted. AskJean.ai can also run inside your own environment.

Is OpenInfer open source?

OpenInfer serves open-source models, but its pages do not say the platform itself is open source, so check licensing with the company.

What are alternatives to OpenInfer?

Alternatives include Together AI, Fireworks AI, Baseten, Modal and OpenRouter for hosted inference, and vLLM for self-managed serving.
