H100-class hardware wins on price for these workloads. We support them so you can hit one API for everything — but if price is the only thing that matters, route them to a hyperscale inference host.

Same per-task contract as featured workloads — locked quote, max_spend cap, no charges on failure. Pricing reflects honest provider cost on Apple Silicon, not a market-matched price.
FAQ

Pricing, explained.

How do you charge so little?
1% take rate. 99% goes to the provider whose Apple Silicon ran the job. No data centers, no cooling, no hyperscaler markup.
Are quotes really locked?
Yes. Every submission returns a deterministic price before execution. Tasks that would exceed your max_spend_usd are paused, not silently billed.
What counts as "batch" vs "realtime"?
Batch tolerates 3–6 sec dispatch — runs on the cheapest available capacity. Realtime gets priority dispatch — good for interactive workloads, 2× the price.
Why is chat priced so much higher than Together / Groq?
Apple Silicon serves transformer chat at maybe 1/100th the throughput of an H100. We won't pretend otherwise — chat is in the catalog so you can hit one API for everything, but at honest cost. For pure chat workloads, Together / Groq / Fireworks will be cheaper.
Do you charge for failed tasks?
No. Only successful, receipted results are billed. Retries are free.
Is there a free tier?
$5 in credits on signup. No card required. Enough for a real evaluation across the featured catalog.
Can I get volume pricing?
Yes. For sustained volume above ~$5k/mo we offer reserved capacity and dedicated provider pools. Contact sales.
