DeepInfra is a cloud inference platform that lets developers run open and proprietary models through a simple, OpenAI-compatible API without managing hardware. It serves text generation, embeddings, image/audio/video, and speech models with token-based, pay-as-you-go pricing, and offers DeepCluster dedicated NVIDIA GPU capacity for heavier workloads. It is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified with a zero data-retention policy.

Pros & cons

  • Very low per-token pricing
  • 100+ models behind one OpenAI-compatible API
  • Dedicated GPU clusters (DeepCluster) available
  • SOC 2 / ISO 27001, zero data retention
  • No hardware to manage
  • Pay-as-you-go only, no free tier
  • Skews toward open models
  • Not a fine-tuning-first platform

    Together AI

    Together

    Fine-tuning + inference for open-weights models. Broad coverage.

    Hosted inference and fine-tuning across hundreds of open-weights models (Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, etc.). Strong pricing for inference-at-scale; LoRA + full fine-tuning supported.

    Worth knowing

    Co-founded by Stanford's Percy Liang and FlashAttention author Tri Dao; raised $305M at a $3.3B valuation.

    Fireworks AI

    Fast inference + fine-tuning. Production deployments at scale.

    Optimized inference platform for open-weights models with strong latency numbers and serverless + dedicated deployment options. Fine-tuning supported; vision and audio models alongside text.

    Worth knowing

    Founded by the Meta team that built PyTorch; hit a $4B valuation in its Oct 2025 raise.

    Groq

    Groq

    Ultra-fast inference on custom LPU chips. Open-weights at 500+ tokens/sec.

    GroqCloud serves open-weights models (Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi) on Groq's purpose-built LPU hardware, hitting hundreds of tokens per second where GPUs manage tens. OpenAI-compatible API with a free tier; the default when token latency is the product.

    Worth knowing

    Nvidia agreed a ~$20B cash deal on Dec 24, 2025 to license Groq's LPU IP and acquihire its team — Nvidia's largest deal ever.

    Replicate

    Replicate

    Run, fine-tune, and deploy thousands of open models via one API.

    A platform to run open-source models with one API call — image, video, audio, and language — plus fine-tuning and custom deploys with pay-per-second billing. No infra to manage.

    Worth knowing

    Co-founded by Ben Firshman, who built the original Docker Compose; its Cog packaging format is essentially 'Docker for machine learning.'
